Lil Stanky 100% in the dot tonight...

Ok Good GIF

And our 2nd line has been our best offensive line this season.

Maybe our 2C really was on the roster this whole time...?

Stanky isn't a bad player but come playoff time he won't be able to be even a minor inconvenience net front.  Outside of Svechnikov our top six is severely undersized

Was able to see most of the game without sound, and watched the replay today.

Blue line was outstanding. I think there is little doubt Jaccob Slavin is the best defensive player in the league. Chatty, Walker & Miller all had excellent games.

Freddie looked pretty damn good. If he and Bussi each find their peak performance, they could carry a couple games in the playoffs.

Ehlers has been a little quiet lately...

Obviously, there is more to being a center than just faceoffs and driving the net. Stankyboi is still putting it all together. And, he may never be a true net front presence. But, if he can do all the other duties of the job, we can build up size around him in the future.

For this coming playoffs, though? He might not be that much bigger than Stank, however, Jackson Blake crashes the goal with the most reckless abandon I've seen in a Canes sweater in years. Dude is fuging fearless!

Oh don't get me wrong all of our smurfs will drive the net, its just in the playoffs were physicality ramps up you can't make up for being outweighed by 40+ pounds and give up 5+ inches in height with "grit" and "gumption" for the playoffs I'd honestly be tempted to have Stanky back on the wing, have Janakowski man the 2c and KK the fourth line.... (Janakowski has been productive for his very limited TOI) and tbh Stankoven has 30 points in 63 games played averaging 16.5 minutes of ice time, Janakowski has 16 in 53 games averaging just a shade over 9 minutes of ice time, Stanky has spent almost 3x as much time on the ice for less than double the production, and he doesn't provide the same size

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
