Canes trade Stewart to Kings for Westgarth...

Oh he will play, will probably be a 20 point guy for you guys because you have good 4th line depth. Our 4th line consisted of a sniper in Tim Brent and a grinder in Andreas Nodl so Stewart didn't really fit in. For as big as he is he doesn't throw his body around very much. If he can revert to his Atlanta Thrashers days he will be a good pick-up for you guys. Oh and thanks for stealing our 4th and 6th round draft picks.

However, I have heard that the trade was essentially picks for Westgarth because the Kings plan on releasing A-Stew.

Meaning Canes traded a pick to L.A. for taking Stewart off of the Canes hands and a pick for Westarth since he can be our enforcer that we desperately need.

I'm excited about the Canes this season. I like that they're being proactive and getting some goons that can protect our pretty scorers. In addition I found out that Westgarth is the son in law of Bill Cowher and lives in Raleigh already. Not only that he's been practicing with the team during informal skating during the lockout so there is already a degree of trust and chemistry developed. The players must have had some good reviews of him.

    • forgot to include the quote: best play in panther history   Pretty great.  X Clown also. I was always real fond of Jake’s 1st play vs Jacksonville simply for his entrance into the huddle which completely woke people up. That and what they went on to do in that game was a major turning point for the franchise.IMO. Kris Jenkins’ kick xp block vs TB is a big one for me. 
    • I certainly wouldn't be surprised if that happened.  We might take a shot with say a fourth rounder if there is someone the staff likes.  
    • I interpreted your original reply as the team could have success if the new players and coaches were really good, AND they created an offense that didn't count on the QB being a primary contributor. Because you think Bryce won't be able to hold up his end. I think you confirm that above. My only point is that I don't see how anyone can say definitively what Bryce Young will be in the league yet, based on his supporting cast from last season. And it seems those that have already decided that Bryce Young is a bust, likely just didn't like him as the pick in the first place. A little context for me... lots of folk here didn't like Cam while he was a Panther either. It had very little to do with him as a talent. And just for the record, I really am not invested in Bryce Young. I didn't want the team to move up for a QB at all in 2023. I thought 2024 would be the year to go for a QB. But when they did, I ordered the QBs as Anthony Richardson, then CJ, then Bryce. The disfunction from the front office, to the playcalling, to the scheme, to the oline and the receivers was just not a good situation. Horrible actually. Asking a rookie to perform with all that adversity is just not realistic to me, at any position let alone QB. So to me, the verdict is still out. I don't know if he can be the guy because the situation he was in last year was set up to fail from the start. In preseason, as soon as I saw the oline couldn't figure out how to even slow down the Jets' pass rush (particularly stunts) and the receivers were locked up like Fort Knox, I knew we were in for a long season.
