Holy cow! This is about the last thing I would have expected to be reading today.

I've had the chance to correspond with Gantt a few times and he was always nice. I get that he wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I always considered him the best beat writer covering the Panthers.

Like everyone else, I'd love to know what's behind this. Might be one of those things where we'll never know exactly what really happened. The 'why' aside though, the 'what' absolutely sucks :(

Couldn't DG create his own blog exclusively for Panther's coverage and still have access?

Then again, no one would be paying him then... This is gonna suck.

might have a non compete agreement in his contract.

      Tomorrow is a must win

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      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.
