Panthers Fan 69

Causal soccer fan here. My causal fan eyes say this team sucks. Players standing around bitching at eachother vs trying to score. 0-0 is boring. They will prob lose 0-1 giving up a late 90th min goal.

Y’all dying hard over this. Scoot is literally the offensive version of MKG. He can’t shoot. Why would you want and shooting guard that can’t shoot?!

As it should.

That would be epic

Completely dumb comparison. Miller can shoot. MKG sucked at shooting.

Love the pick!!! Going to go well with Melo

Going with… Ample Chest Field or it is what it is stadium

From ESPN Saros, Hellebuyck hop on the goalie carousel There are two different goalie markets this offseason. There's the unrestricted free-agent pool, filled with a collection of familiar names of advanced age, some intriguing question marks like Tristan Jarry and Joonas Korpisalo, and whatever one makes of Stanley Cup champion Adin Hill. Then there's a much more tantalizing collection of trade possibilities, which makes that free-agent pool look like a neglected, algae-filled motel swimming pool by comparison. Among the trade possibilities: Juuse Saros of the Nashville Predators, the Jets' Hellebuyck and John Gibson of the Anaheim Ducks. Thatcher Demko of the Vancouver Canucks was available earlier this year, but the team pulled him back -- although with the Canucks in a state of change, who knows what the summer will bring? There are several teams theoretically in need of a goaltender upgrade. Teams like the Ottawa Senatorsand Carolina Hurricanes don't have a No. 1 starter under contract. The Pittsburgh Penguins, Los Angeles Kings, Toronto Maple Leafs and Vegas Golden Knights have one goalie signed. (We'll include Vegas, because who knows what's up with Robin Lehner?) The New Jersey Devils have Vitek Vanecek and Akira Schmid, but given how the playoffs went, perhaps they want an upgrade, too? Of that group, the Kings should be one of the most aggressive teams in seeking a solution in goal, given how close they're inching toward true Stanley Cup contention. Acquiring Saros would help with that progress. Juuse Saros could be one of the final pieces of the puzzle for the Kings as they look to assemble another Stanley Cup champ. John Russell/NHLI via Getty Images Saros, 28, is everything the Kings need, which is why they were after him before last season's trade deadline. He's a Vezina Trophy-caliber goalie who has led the NHL in games played for the past two seasons. He's on a $5 million AAV deal for the next two seasons without any trade protection. The Kings are a team that has been searching for a solution in goal since Jonathan Quick aged out of stardom. Saros could be it. He won't come cheaply. Former Predators GM David Poile reportedly asked for two first-round picks from the Kings for Saros. What would new GM Barry Trotz want from the Kings? It's tough to say, given that the only move he has made is hiring coach Andrew Brunette. But that might clue us in on his philosophy: Trotz said he wants Nashville to play "an entertaining, offensive brand of hockey that the fans would enjoy watching." So how about 21-year-old winger Arthur Kaliyev, dynamic but injury-prone center Gabriel Vilardi and a conditional first-round pick for Saros? Kaliyev had a strong second full season (28 points in 56 games). Vilardi had a breakout season (41 points in 63 games) ... but again, it was 63 games. The Kings don't have a first-rounder this summer, but own theirs for 2024 and 2025. Lottery protect it for 2024. The Predators would only trade Saros because they've got Yaroslav Askarov on the way in their system. But he needs more time. So how about stop-gapping it with Kevin Lankinen (already signed through next season) and free-agent goalie Frederik Andersen, most recently of the Hurricanes? He'll be 34 when the season starts. While his regular-season performance wasn't ideal, he was effective in the playoffs (.927 save percentage, 1.83 goals-against average in nine starts). But again, that was behind the Hurricanes' defense. Many goalies have looked great behind coach Rod Brind'Amour's scheme, but how many great goalies have been Hurricanes under his watch? To that end: Connor Hellebuyck has been great for a lot of Winnipeg teams, but how many of those Winnipeg teams were great defensively in front of him? For the sheer curiosity of how good he'd be on a Brind'Amour team, how about Hellebuyck to the Hurricanes? The Canes have other needs -- particularly in the goal-scoring department -- but this solidifies their net. He'd solve their tandem issues, as one of the NHL's biggest workload goalies. Carolina has a ton of draft capital to get this deal started, but completing a trade for Hellebuyck is the sticky part. Would either Brady Skjei or Brett Pescesign an extension with the Jets, as they're one year away from unrestricted free agency? Would the Hurricanes have to part with someone like Seth Jarvis in the deal? Can they balance a Hellebuyck trade with what they'd need to move for scoring help, as the free agent solutions are few and far between? One last question: If Hellebuyck plays behind the Canes' defensive system, is it possible to award the Vezina Trophy before the season?

OT playoff hockey must change. It’s needs to be just like regular season. 3 vs 3. Maybe a full 20 period of 3 Vs 3

It’s like James Hetfield says….”do you want heavy???” The canes will get heavy in the off-season.

Write it down….. not wasting another opportunity. Bank it.

It’s been a hell of season boys. Highs and lows. Going to miss the poo out of it. but it’s over. On to next year.

This just shows. Goalie. We have that in Freddie. svech. We need him back we need a big guy or two. we need a goal scorer.

Vegas absolutely destroyed Florida. Can they just call game.

The NHL is so desperate for good coaching that they think just because they made it to a cup or even win one they should always get a shot.

Why does this mater? Well he did coach us before….. hey recycled coaches worked for The Panthers. Thoughts??

Drury won’t get what he wants in Carolina. It’s time to part ways.

Very disappointed in Florida’s fans throwing poo on the ice at the end. We may boo and yell but our fans would never thrown trash on the ice. Trash team and trash fans.

So many walks.

Honestly. If you are going to give me $400milliom to play golf, people can hate me all they want.

Maybe a few but I would imagine the main sponsors for some of these guys are going ask them to keep quiet or take the high road. As a viewer it’s going to be nice to see all the big guns back playing with eachother again.

Wow didn’t see this one coming https://www.espn.com

This hurts so much watching this Stanley cup. It really fuging hurts. We should be there. Tired of the bad NC pro team luck.

This is one sport I know nothing about so I believe you. However I can tell when one of my teams suck. This seems like one

Why does this ass bag of a team keep kicking it back towards their own goal. They get into their own zone then kick it all the way back to their goalie?? This sucks.
