No CBA means no early annoucement of #1 pick?

Generally, the #1 overall is leaked a few days before the draft (currently only 8 days away)....I assume since there is no CBA and therefore since they can't start the ground work on a contract then we will have to wait until the actual draft.......

Hope that doesn't come back to bite us.....I mean don't teams normally leak the info b/c the basics of a contract are being worked up and agreed upon? The #1 overall is a big investment for there to be contract/hold out issues.......

If you believe all the media reports, it has been "leaked"

It's happened maybe a few times, I wouldn't call that generally.

Chances are they haven't decided, and if they have it does nothing but hurt them to announce it.

I don't think there would have been an early announcement anyway, honestly. Other teams, maybe. Not us.

And unless the CBA gets done, we can't talk contract with them after the draft either.

Which brings up my concern....

Let's say they draft Cam Newton. Ideally, a team would make sure a contract and everything appeared to be non issue w/ the #1 overall before making the selection. Carolina now is in a position where they can't do that.......they could end up being on VERY different pages with the #1 overall.

      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.
