Darin Gantt no longer covering Panthers

Per Twitter...

Got some news I really never wanted to deliver. As of today, I'm no longer covering the Panthers for the Rock Hill Herald.

I've been re-assigned to the Winthrop University beat. Publisher Debbie Abels and editor Paul Osmundson were good to let me stay on.

It's not what I would have chosen, but I suppose I'm luckier than many in my business. Thanks to everyone for their support over the years.

Wonder what happened? This probably means more Fowler

Person is newer, but much more global. This is probably about the way he locked on to one perspecitive, his, and rode it into the ground. He has always done it. ASU sports, Armanti Edwards, now Cam. I think his review reflected this. I also wonder if Mr. Richardson, who seemed a little upset with Darrin at the Press conference, didn't influence the decision.

there used to be a time when i really enjoyed gantt's work, but as for now this is hardly a loss...

this is real talk right here... back when he was only working for the herald he was pretty good but since he had been working for with the observer he has been kinda crappy

    • If we lose tomorrow we’d have to sweep the Bucs in order to get into the playoffs. With a loss tomorrow the Bucs would then hold the tie breaker if we finished tied If we can’t split with NO then we sure as hell not sweeping Tampa It’s win or go home tomorrow in my eyes  Biggest game since 2017 playoff game imo  
    • Grok AI: No, there are no credible reports that the Carolina Hurricanes offered Jake Guentzel the same contract terms as Tampa Bay (7 years, $63 million total, $9 million AAV) before he signed with the Lightning. Reliable sources, including The Athletic, consistently reported that Carolina’s offer during negotiations was an eight-year deal worth $64 million ($8 million AAV). Guentzel did not accept it promptly, leading the Hurricanes to trade his negotiating rights to Tampa Bay on June 30, 2024, for a 2025 third-round pick. He then quickly signed the 7x$9M deal with the Lightning on July 1, 2024. Guentzel himself later reflected (in 2025 interviews) that staying in Carolina was his initial preference, but negotiations stalled and “didn’t work out,” with Tampa’s opportunity becoming a “no-brainer.” No reports from outlets like ESPN, NHL.com, or insiders (e.g., Elliotte Friedman, Pierre LeBrun, Frank Seravalli) indicate Carolina ever matched or offered the Lightning’s exact terms—total money, AAV, or length. The extra year was Carolina’s key advantage, but they reportedly stuck closer to $8M AAV and moved on when Guentzel explored options.
