Is it time to give up on Jeff Otah?

I'm not sure why we make weekly posts about Otah, Carolina is in a perfect situation with the dude. If he doesn't perform, we are done with him at the end of the season. If he performs outstanding, we trade him because you never dude who only performs well in his contract year, and get some value for him in a trade or let another team buy him outright. And for whatever reason you don't believe that Bell can't improve, which I guess means that Cam can't improve either.

Do you understand the concept of Free Agency. As chef17 stated, if we don't re-sign him HE WALKS. There will be no trading of Otah, unless we sign him to a big contract and then trade him....which is highly, highly unlikely.

Ok, my bad, I misunderstood, but either way if he performs well this year. I would still get rid of him. There is no way I would sign him to a big contract if I was Carolina. I've seen it in too many sports, where the athlete, who is not performing up to his potential, has one great season at the end of his contract, the local team and several others offer up big dollars, the player goes to the highest bidder and sucks for the rest of his career.

If he doesn't practice in training camp we will likely cut him to save the salary given we won't be resigning him to another contract. Chances are we are giving him every opportunity to be ready for camp right now. Hopefully he is cutting weight and working out so he is ready. If he can't get motivated in a contract year, he can't be motivated, period........

As he is a restricted free agent we will likely allow him to test the market and then have the option to match the offer. I would doubt no matter how well he plays we will give him a long term deal with no incentive based contract unless we are convinced everything is fine. He seems to be in Rivera's doghouse right now. We are already up against the cap next year.

Because most of the teenagers in this forum don't know how to express any opinion without talking about how terrible a player is.

..never mind they actually have no fuging clue as to where his status lies, what his injury is, when his rehab completes, or what the current prognosis is.

..they are just bandwagoning on something negative so they can sound like they have a critical opinion which in reality is nothing but a feigning attempt to demonstrate that they have any intelligent insight whatsoever, on anything.

a.k.a. "I'm not stupid. I complain about stuff."

      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.
