I am feeling confident about the future of our oline...

Campbell-Sialotu-Kalil-??-Bell

Should be a good lineup for years to come.

i would like us to find a RG in FA. the chances of us finding an RG that can contribute right away the way silatolu has is very remote and i don't want us to wait a couple years for an RG to develop.

aside from that, i agree. gross still has a few years left, but even then we probably need to be looking in the next couple.

I was very critical about his play last year, as he was one of the worst RT's in the league, but I'm glad to see he has made huge strides in pass blocking and his run blocking is improved as well. The big thing is that he's not committing the penalties, the false starts and panic hold calls were detrimental last year, which he has cleaned up and minimized.

Now if only we can get rid of Hangartner this line might start to live up t potential.

We'll be looking to lock up an elite LT in the next couple seasons.

We should immediately try to find a veteran stop gap though.

I think Campbell is that veteran stop gap/emergency LT. They have been very careful with him, resisting the urge to toss him in at RT or RG, and have let him concentrate on backing up Gross.

That said, I think Gross has a lot more life in him than some think. He's got a good 3 years left (at least) assuming he doesn't suffer a major injury.

    • 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.
