Two years ago, the canes dumped what everyone thought was their best scorer in jeff skinner right before the season started. Team hadnt sniffed the playoffs in ten years. That team looked like the Checkers on paper. Fast forward to a conference championship appearance and getting screwed out of a cup. Roddy was able to get the most out of his guys when the team seemed to be tanking to move. Kind of the same thing is happening here. Although the dead cap space releases are baffling

Canes have done an amazing job building and really are setup to be a top 5-10 team for atleast a decade to come. Great drafting in later rounds and some really amazing contracts. Also got lucky and won lottery to get Svechnikov 2nd overall. 
 

Not sure Panthers have done any of that. Could start next year by getting Lawrence or Fields like the Canes getting Svechnikov, but we gotta tank/suck to do that. Can’t get lucky in a draft lottery like the NHL.

We were before we brought Hurney back.

We were much better with DG but he still had some serious miscues, both in the draft and contract wise... Kalil, Benjamin, Funchess, Butler, KK contract, etc.

Ya for sure but overall he had a well oiled machine.
 

Hurney for the past two years has been literally just 1 season plug and playing random parts. You saw where that got us and he’s doing it again. The difference this season is there is no machine to build around. 
 

Sidenote: I’m just happy the canes get to rest up and get over some of those injuries. Ugh.

Big changes bring uncertainty.

But in the NFL, things can turn around quickly. Lots of new players and coaches means new dynamics. With all the moving parts, you don't really know what you're going to get until you see some on-field action.

We could surprise early - sure. Or we could struggle mightily. That's the excitement of the unknown. (for me, at least)

The difference is the Canes have one hell of a prospect system. Had great cap space, and awesome draft capital.

They are without a doubt one of the smartest run small market organizations in sports since the ownership/gm/coaching change.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
