Ward cut by a skate... team says he's out for a month or so but I think the team is keeping their mouths shut and its worse.

Word is, Ward's quadrilateral muscle was cut deep by the skate and he'll be out for an extended period.. and that that's why JR is looking for more than a band-aid in the net via trade.

JR won't tank the season and give up. That's the good news. The bad news is, right now there's not much he can do about it. With the season being nowhere near the trade deadline, there aren't many teams looking to move players. There's not a lot he can do right now with that.

Honestly, I think just selling off Brind'Amour for basically nothing and letting Boychuck stay on the squad the rest of the year would do be a great place to start

Will be interesting, to say the least, to see Manny Legace in a Canes uniform.

I hope the team can step it up in front of him, because the only games that we've been close in, Ward was the one keeping us there.

This team has got to start playing better hockey, or things are going to get really bad.

If they're going to make any kind of miraculous turnaround, it needs to happen now. The longer this drags on, the more impossible it will become. At some point JR has to look at this team, realize that they're not going anywhere, and sell off the old parts of it. Apparently that time is around Christmas.

I have a feeling this will not get any easier to watch.:(

I think one of two things happens.

A) Manny Legace comes in and all the bounces start going the Canes way, and we get some confidence back.

or

B) Manny Legace comes in and we lose 6-1, and this season continues it's terrible path.

Either way, sucks to be Michael Leighton right now.

      I know that. I'm not predicting it. Just putting the information out there so I will have receipts for later on when this dude turns into a stud at this level too.  It's kinda bittersweet, he'd help our offense out a great deal, but I'm wanting a QB next draft, so adding another weapon for Bryce is counterproductive in that regard.

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I'm not sure if NO will be as QB aggressive as some assume.  They may focus on landing a top line prospect and slow rolling the rebuild for next year.  Could see them roll the dice in R3-4 to compete with Rattler, maybe a Howard fit.     I think the QB starved team's just take the gamble the Saints don't want Sanders, and target a mid to late 1st pick for a trade up to land him.  Still don't think Milroe or Shough are going R1.   But I think what may get lost in the trade up talk is about it being QB specific. A top team trying to get over the top could be the juicy trade (or two) that happens in round 1. Something I've flirted with is how aggressive Buffalo could be.  They have the ammunition for a big trade up, and I think Golden would pair super well with Coleman.  They need to cut to the chase and get playmakers there for Allen.  So yeah, love the idea of a BUF/ATL trade where they move up for him.  I'm even thinking about LAR getting aggressive for Warren or Loveland.  Imagine McVay rolling into 2026 with that added piece for a future QB...

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Unfortunately, Ice, there are some blueprints of hybrid LB/edge players who were busts too--Everette Brown is one, but he was forced into a 4-3 DE role here.  I would say that the 3-4 defense has a lot of wiggle room for hybrids at the OLB/Edge position--I am just not seeing Walker as an elite player at any one role.  Coverage?  Rushing the passer from the 9?  And at his size... If we take him, I hope that I am wrong because there are some personalities I really would love to be on this roster.  Jihaad Campell is one.  Bech is another.
