True but he wouldn't be the first physical C that falls off in his early 30's.  Look at David Backes.  https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/b/backeda01.html

If he followed a similar regression.... which he has higher numbers than him to begin with.....

 

He'd still be worth the 6.5 at 36  keep in mind the cap is jumping a lot between now and then

Makes sense.  Risk doesn't seem high as a pure salary dump, but it feels like maybe Las Vegas is stepping back from the ledge.

I wouldn't mind giving up a pick or something but I'd hate to see someone like Blake going the other way to make it happen.

It's definitely a cap dump we have plenty of lower quality prospects to trade them without giving up a Blake,Nadaeu or FUS

 

2C has been our biggest hole since Trockek walked.....

 

I think a Hertl is far more impact full for us than marner....  we have a ton of talented young wings Blake probably becomes a 25-30 goal guy this year and I'm pretty sure Nadeau breaks into the lineup (and his offensive ceiling is higher than Blake')  not having a legit 2C has made us basically a one line team when it comes to offense. 

2C and 1RHD Id like filled this month and leave space for moves at the deadline

Ehhh we need a top pair RHD hes more of a 2 or 3

I get that, but not a lot of UFA top RHDs out there, unless you want to give Eckblad $9-10M. Matter of fact, Eckblad may be the only top line D-man who's unrestricted. 

Better look for a trade somewhere.

If they don't pursue and get Ekblad I'd be shocked if it isnt addressed via trade because of the draft capital/space we have.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
