I think someone is going to bid high on Nicks, would be really surprised if he ends up here. 

I guess the general assumption was that since he had a REALLY down year and declined in general over the last two years, that he would have to go somewhere on a one year deal and prove his worth. Add in all the ties to Charlotte, Getts, and NC in general and the Panthers make sense.

 

But you're more than likely right. Someone will throw big money at him for his past performance hoping he will rekindle it.

Bc, I dont see Gman pulling the trigger on two solid receivers in FA. I cant really remember a time where that ever happened in the NFL before too.

I guess the key word there is Solid. Austin was an after after thought on his own team behind Dez and Whitton and the young guys that were stepping up. And while Nicks wasn't an after thought he just didn't play up to par.

 

Nicks could be elite and maybe getting home sparks that but I looked at Austin as an also ran that people were over looking but who would also be a bigger upgrade for a team like us. And maybe coming in and playing a bigger role will be what draws someone like him who went from being the man for one season to "meh"

      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.
