Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.

Stop taking it as some personal affront. I don't care about UNC, Duke or State. I'm simply stating that Dean Smith did not tolerate nor want a "superstar" on his team. He believed in team play and that nobody is above the team. 

The Canes will not attract a 100-point scorer because RBA doesn't short shift lines to keep Aho on the ice, like we've seen the Oilers do with Draisaitl and McJesus- both with around 30 minutes in regulation time. It's one reason Aho may never see a 100-point season, because he won't get the ice-time to do it. 

 

 

That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation.

Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

Now let’s hope they all demand a billion dollars and go their separate ways.

Watching Florida dominate other teams makes me feel better about the Canes, it's not a Canes problem , it's a Florida problem 

Florida is just simply miles ahead of the rest of the league, they dominated Edmenton and Toronto the same way they dominated us, we are in the prime Brady/Bellicheck Patriots era, except it's Murice/Bobvroski Panthers era 

And just think, it wasn't that long ago when Florida was always in relocation talks, and always the bottom feeders of the southeastern conference, now they own the league

To think the last decade has been dominated by 2 teams who have 70 degree winters and only encounter ice in thier freezer

Or more likely Sam Bennett, he's a bigger need at center

Florida has 100% stars across the board.  Maybe not Mcdavid but stars.  Bennett, Reinhart, Eckblad, Thachuk, and Marchand, hell BOB is a Bonafide superstar.  Yes, I know I spelled their names wrong because I'm too lazy to look them up.  Florida is loaded.  But what makes them different is the size and the depth.  Their 4th line is big.  GMET has the blueprint with $30mil to spend.  Go do it!
