Had a great time at the Panthers draft party

Just got back from the Panthers draft party, had a GREAT time... highlight of the evening was getting a chance to meet coach Rivera! I think I was the first Panthers fan to officially congratulate coach on selecting Cam, I happened to be walking through the tunnel when he, Hurney and others came out of the war room after making the pick. Rivera is a bigger man than I expected and he has huge, powerful hands... I'm a big guy and my hand was lost in his. As they were walking out I said: "congrats coach" and he walked over to the railing that was separating him from the fans walking through the tunnel to shake my hand.

On top of that, I got to tour the Panthers lockeroom... including reaching up and tapping the "PANTHERS PRIDE" sign as you walk out towards the field and then walk out onto the field through the same entrance the players use, with one of those inflatable Panthers head things. Stood on the 20 yard line in the middle of the field and watched him announce our pick on the jumbotron, the reaction to Cam was totally positive in the stadium, a very loud cheer went up when they announced the selection.

Dang you got to go down on the field? Now I wish I would've gone.

Yup, it was crazy to go through the Panthers locker room... come out the tunnel they come out of... and then stand there on the 20 yard line while they announced Cam was our #1 overall pick.

I'll always remember where I was when we drafted Cam Newton.

      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.
