Is it time to give up on Jeff Otah?

Should've gotten rid of him earlier this offseason and pick up someone else, but since we didn't we have to wait at least until TC to make a decision.

He is in the last year of his rookie deal. There is basically zero cap savings by letting him go vs. keeping him.

We'll win with and without him.

Why give up before the season even begins.

That is what these clowns around here do I think. Every day its another person on our roster that is "terrible" and they want to "give up" on.

None of these people have a clue what is going on really and there is no reason to even make these decisions before the season but the kids on here want to write somebody off before camp.

He is in the last year of his contract.If he cannot play there is no reason to keep him .If he can play there is no reason to let him go.Time will tell but I bet this will be his last year as a panther.

I don't endorse keeping him after this year.... but there is ZERO reason to cut him now. A wasted spot is Clausen or AE. People can moan about him taking up a roster spot when those other guys are gone

Huddlers will vehemently defend Otah, right up until he gets cut. Then, all of the sudden, people will act like they knew from the start that he was a wasted effort.

It isn't as bad as the Huddlers who actually think Bell is an alternative to Otah.

how about we wait until the end if his incredibly small remaining contract is up at the end of the year or at least wait until after training camp?

what benefit would we have in letting him go right now?

as most pragmatic posters in this thread have said, it makes no sense whatsoever to cut him any time soon. let his contract run out or to see if someone blows him away in TC.

if he can somehow stay healthy why would you not want him on the team? if you really don't believe that he can stay healthy what would you suggest we do? how would we benefit by cutting him?

meh......

      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.

      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.
