Here's a median.

It's March.

The season starts in September.

Panic and rage, this early in the game, are a tad uncalled for.

Here's the thing Mr. Scot. I understand it's March, but there's such a thing as digging yourself into too big of hole that there just simply isn't enough quality free agents or rookies to fix it. That's where I believe we are at right now. You havent offered any quality moves that we might make other than saying it's March.

You see I'm not some kid that sits and whines because he's team isn't making the moves he wants. I'm sure there are some on here that do. I'm a PSL owner and a College Student. I work my ass off for my money and I spend a good chunk of it supporting this team. I'm financially invested, got my season ticket invoice in the mail recently and guess what? Prices are up. So if you're going to raise prices up on me then I expect a better product on that field. I don't see that. I see rebuilding, I see taking a step back. And because I have to come out of my pocket and fork up my hard earned money, I'm going to continue to complain. Anybody that is sick of it can pay for my season tickets this year and I won't say a damn word.

No panic and rage from me, just concern; most of it stemming from how he (GMAN) handled the Smith ordeal. I'm sure he'll figure it out, but if you're not concerned then what's the point of being a fan? I've always figured that being an avid fan means that you are emotionally invested in the team, I could be wrong; but I doubt it.

 

I'm always concerned.  I've been concerned about this coming season since the 49er game ended.

 

But my level of concern just four days in to the free agent period, especially when matched with the memory that we also didn't do much in the first week of free agency last year, well...it's not that high.

'Rebuilding' is a term that only applies when you're replacing the entire core of a team.

 

We lost gross to retirement and Smitty to release, but we still have the vast majority of last year's core players in place.  Nobody else that we've lost could rightly be called a core player.

 

We didn't get big name free agents?  Well, we didn't last year either.  And yeah, our situation may be worse now than then as far as number of players, but our cap was a whole lot worse last offseason.

 

Sorry, but week one of free agency is just way too early for the kind of histrionics this board is seeing.

      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.
