Canes believed to be one of teams interested in Lecavalier. Could be out of price range but interest is there.

 

The Canes are believed to have interest in Vincent Lecavalier and Danny Briere, former All-Star forwards now available after having their contracts bought out -- Lecavalier by Tampa Bay, Briere by Philadelphia. Rutherford offered no comment on the two players.

 

If some how or some way, the Canes were able to sign Lecavalier; that would be huge.

 

Doubt it happens, but a lineup of...

 

Jiri Tlusty - Eric Staal - Alexander Semin

Jordan Staal - Vincent Lecavalier - Valeri Nichushkin

Jeff Skinner - Riley Nash - Tuomo Ruutu

 

Gives me absolute chills.

 

I also doubt they would pursue him if they end up selecting a forward in the draft.

Skins would rape on the third line lol. It'd be his show against other teams lower lines. Only thing is you'd see more head hunting than playing against the 'pros'.

 

 

That's why you put some bigger guys that like to hit on the line with him, give him some nitty gritty players for protection. Just throw him on the line with some bigger guys and say do your thing Skinner. No one cares if you hog the puck on the third line.

Hell yes to Lecavalier.

 

 

Btw, who is Valeri Nichushkin?

 

He's one of the top forwards in this years draft. He's been linked to Carolina a ton. He's probably got more potential then anyone else in this draft but is getting knocked down because of the Russian connection.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      He has rarely been aggressive enough to be considered a gunslinger type player. The guy he is describing is Pat Mahomes-esque and I doubt any of us see that in Bryce.  When the play is breaking down or he bails on the play, how often are we really seeing him laser it into a tight window? How about scramble long enough to get someone breaking free and then hitting them? I remember that far less, although I am not sitting down to look at all 2.5 years of data, than I am checkdowns, throw aways, off target passes, scrambles, etc.

      Some Tet appreciation

      Wow this is some crazy nonsense. First, he doesn't have problems picking up the ball on quick slants or screens, go back and watch the replays, you can clearly see him start to turn his head on those drops before the ball is in his hands, it's a concentration issue, not an issue of picking up the ball. Yes, it's 100% something he has to improve upon and it's still a knock on him, but you're making up a problem that isn't there, when the real problem that is there is a very correctable one and also one that is rather common for a player 6 games into his career and trying to do too much. After that, I genuinely don't understand what your point is in bringing up where he ranks in YPC, as if that's some indicator of his abilities.  Which, to begin with, he's not 31st, he's 26th (and that's before even factoring in the players above him with just a handful of catches, like Horn Jr with his 4 catches).  Then below him in that YPC ranks are guys like Chase, CeeDee, London, Tyreek, Waddle, Higgins, BTJ, Wilson etc, so I'm not sure what pointing out his ranking has anything to do with what kind of player he is or might become.  All of that before even looking how close he is to being much higher on the list because they're all so close together, he's 27 yards across 6 games shy from being in the Top 15. If you want to pick and choose stats, why not look at things like being 3rd in the NFL in catches of 20+ yards or 6th in the NFL in 1st down catches? And finally, no, just no.  He doesn't look far less pro ready than Egbuka, he's just in a significantly worse situation if you're just looking for a big statistical output.  Egbuka is playing with the current front runner for MVP, in a pass happy offense, where all their other pass catchers keep getting hurt, so of course he's going to be putting up big stats.  Swap those players and T-Mac might be leading the NFL in yards right now, not to mention would have just as many TD's as Egbuka does as well.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan.
