We have a GREAT owner!! Hats off to JR

This guy is just really awesome! He's there for everything dealing with this lockout. He handed Cam that playbook with a quickness, which is allowing Cam to work 12 hour days down in FL, and has allowed (cringe) Weinke to work with him in the playbook.

We will have a HUGE advantage when it comes to picking up undradted free agents as well... Think about it... Jerry will be THERE in. The room when the lockout is lifted!! He undoubtedly already has the list of players we want.

All he'll have to do is call Marty and Co. And tell them to call them and sign them right then! Nobody else will even know that it's lifted before him and few others, we'll hear breaking news on ESPN or a tweet from Schefter and by that time we'll have the players that we've been targeting!

He's already looking like a Genius with the Cam pick...

I'm just very grateful to have him as our owner especially since he is a former player. The more I think about the end of the lockout the more excited I get.

I have a strong feeling that our franchise will do something very special this season! It's gonna be a GREAT year to be a Panthers fan!!!!

Hmmm, interesting.

Not sure if that was what JR was planning. Even if it's by accident, we stand to gain from it.

Not sure about getting an early start on the FA's and it working but the Cam angle would be pure genius.

As far as the season (if we have one) is concerned, I have been saying that we will make the playoffs. I have scientific and religious data to back that up.

In all seriousness i think JR caught a bad rap for last season. No doubt the choices he made didnt go as well as he would had hoped, but they weren't terrible choices. As much as I hated watching the debacle last season it does show strong evidence that JR is committed to his plans and will back them up. So with a new #1 pick I'm sure he do as he has said and get the right support behind the team. Good things to come

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