Ok...so last weekend I posted a message about signing draftees and mentioned that we apparently weren't so close to signing Brown. Within an hour, Brown signed. Earlier this week, I made the oh so funny crack about Irvin and his banana puddin, and within an hour he signed. Apparently, I have some connection with Marty. So, today's the day to get our last boy in there. Martin, you're on the clock...

Well, MB, you forgot to add a wise crack and/or pessimistic statement about our lone draftee, so that means you've jinxed him to a potential holdout! ;)

My poor attempt at humor aside, I think Martin will be signed by Friday (no later than Saturday).

P.S. Is that the Marvel Comics hero Black Panther in your avatar? If so, it's very cool IMO.

That is true...the other two posts were made out of boredom during the slow period. I'm sure the fact that it's been 100+ out here in TX every day for the last two months hasn't helped much, either. Things are ramping up, though, now as the end of the week approaches. I'm looking forward to reading some great training camp reports soon.

That is Black Panther in my avatar. He was a bad ass, just like our boys. I've seen one other BP avatar, using artwork rather than a figure, though.

There isn't a single one of the draft picks that I don't think will show up and be lazy. I've said it before and I'll say it again: this is one of the best overall draft classes that the team has ever had (at least from first impressions) and every one of these guys seems ready to make an impact. Was hoping they would all be signed at least five days before camp. The sooner Martin signs, the better.

I keep reading every day about players for other teams who still haven't signed, many of whom are now missing camp practices. Our FO has done an excellent job the last couple of years of drafting not only good talent, but good character players.

I think that is one of the biggest strengths of this organization and one of the main reasons that Richardson is one of the more respected owners in the league. There's no circus atmosphere here...well, at least, there is very little circus atmosphere here.

Hell, even the Beason holdout and the Peppers drama have been relatively small headaches recently.

      Off Season Thread

      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.
