Wow, owners and Goddell called back to the negotiator after 8pm last night. Both sides meet again today.

Most of the owners left. It's most likely a meeting to determine whether the deadline will be extended. There is a bit of a cat and mouse game before the deadline. The union must decertify before the current CBA expires or the owners must extend the deadline date to prevent the union from decertifying. Once the union decertifies, then the lawsuits begin. The lockout is really less of an issue than the decertification and the lawsuits. A lockout can be ended, but once decertification takes place the lawsuits will be filed and this thing lingers for a very long time.

I really don't see this meeting today as anything more than holding decertification off until the last minute and making the union rush to decertify later today or extending the deadline for a bit.

Hey, another meeting without the major principals- the owners!

Mara and Murphy do not create a quorum and cannot decide anything without the rest of the owners. The only reason the league is involved is to try to prevent the NFLPA from decertifying, which will only lengthen the dispute between the owners and the NFLPA.

Until we begin to hear about owners and players union reps in the same room- nothing of substance is happening.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
