We have all heard Hardys constant money song the last few weeks so I presume he is taking the highest bidder and bolting. What are our possibilities for a replacement,the guys we have left would be fine as rotational players in situational roles....but not starting. Do we draft a DE, use a mid round pick and hope we find a player? shoukd we sign a vet FA for a price and hope he has something left in the tank? Can they scheme around the loss and try to fill the void with blitz packages and hope that what we have will pick up their game (as I said,doubt these guys are starting material).Losing 15 sacks a season and numerous QB pressures will hurt,not to mention his versatility.It's the offseason so unless you want to talk NBA or NASCAR, then trying to find new subjects about the Panthers is tough. If and when he does walk this will suddenly be a relevant subject.

Not another hardy thread SMH! Look he's gone by all sounds of it so we will pickup a DE in FA if one is available if not I think they have faith in Addison Alexander and Horton with the logic of picking up one late draft, I'd like Michael Bennett but Seahawks will no doubt bring him back or Michael Johnson on a one year deal from bengals as he's a free agent, hardy is a success of a teams talented line and scheme not necessarily down all to his peformance.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.

      Melo apologized and said he had been hit on the head and didn't know where he was at.
