Another good thing about Ehlers is he can play both wing spots. So if they do try Jarvis at 2c, team would look like this. 

 

Svechnikov - Aho - Ehlers

Hall - Jarvis - Blake 

Martinook - Staal - Stankoven 

Robinson - KK - Carrier

 

Slavin - Miller

Nikishin - Chatfield 

Ghost - Walke

 

Andersen 

Kotchekov 

 

 

Does that get past Florida tho...

Ye of little faith.....

I have confidence in the Canes FO and coaching staff.  I will miss Burnsy, but it was probably the right decision.  He lost a step and a half last year for sure.

SJ overpaid Orlov who never really fit here, which I found odd but whatever.

We have cap space, some movable parts, and some young guys in the system who may surprise.  I like where we are....just gotta beat Florida!

Well I'm happy with Ehlers, and I'm cautiously optimistic about Miller improving under RBA.  I know we're probably not done, but I'm glad we aren't just running it back.

I think Miller fits our D-core better than he did with the Rangers.  I think Gleason and our system will make him better.

Tulsky putting in work. I like both the Miller deal and this one. 8.5m AAV for Ehlers is lot less than I expected. 

In fairness you pretty consistently OVERESTIMATE what extensions and signings will be.... 

Last year you were swearing the Elhers # would be Jarvis. 

 

In the future just take a 1 to 1.5 off what you think will happen 🤣

Rumors where that NY offered him 7.5-8m and he immediately told them no. A few other teams offered similar deals to the NY one and that Washington was willing to go over 9m AAV to sign Ehlers, so kinda why I expected it to be higher. However fair enough. 😂🤣😂

At least they didn't get the chance to offer Bouchard 11.5-12m AAV. Lol 

 

But no never get sticker shock on deals. I used to be much better at this when I had sources with the Panthers and Hurricanes.  But alas everything good must come to an end. lol

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
