If he doesn’t, he becomes an UFA per his contract. If he does, he can be tendered as an RFA.

Sara Civian has the full explanation in her Athletic article. If you don’t subscribe to the Athletic, you should. It costs the same, per month, as one of those Venti lattes you drink every day.

I know that, if he doesn't get those games, he'll be unrestricted. But, if he does qualify as a RFA, that makes him eligible for the land of Starbucks to steal away, no?

Pretty sure he would be eligible to be taken by Seattle but every team can protect one goalie without sacrificing a forward or defenseman slot.

Right now he is the only goalie under contract beyond this season.

That sounds right. But, I remember reading somewhere that there was a scenario where Ned doesn't qualify and we get penalised another expansion pick AND Ned is an UFA.

Well RFA. He’ll still have to be tendered.

On the full subject I bet we give Reimer some “rest” when Mrazek is ready until they playoffs. I bet we run Mrazek Reimer though in the post unless Ned is playing insanely good by then.

Does he have to start? Play the entire game? Can he come in to replace Reimer and have that count? Part of a game?

 

 

Pretty sure games will only count if he plays at least 30 minutes, so realistically he has to start 9 more games (and not get pulled early in any of those 9).

What if we dress Reimer up in Ned's gear and tape some of those fuzzy caterpillars to his face.

Keeps him eligible as a RFA and inflates his stats, driving his price down on an extension.

Yep, thrilled that we're rolling with Ned right now. I believe this'll be his first consecutive starts of his career, hope he dominates again tonight and can take hold of the starting job, or at least be in the mix over Reims when Petr comes back.

      Ekwonu contract

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      65th in pass blocking rate is the issue. This isn't 1985 anymore. You're not paying LTs to be road grading run blockers.  He's above average for a starting LT as a run blocker. He's well below average for a starting LT as a pass blocker. The issue is that you're paying LTs primarily to be pass protectors.

      ESPN 3rd mock

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Rd 1. Walker ESPN went big for the Carolina Panthers in their latest 2025 mock draft. This time, the worldwide leader enlisted the expertise of both Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates—who went pick for pick over three full rounds. Kiper Jr. started Carolina's haul with the obvious prospect at Pick No. 8, Georgia linebacker Jalon Walker: Carolina had big-time defensive issues last season. Walker can roam the second level with his sideline-to-sideline speed or fly off the edge to get home on the quarterback. The Panthers have to get some difference-makers on that side of the ball. Walker, the perceived frontrunner for the selection, played both off the edge and off the ball for the Bulldogs in 2024. He recorded a team-leading 6.5 sacks en route to capturing a first-team All-American selection and the Butkus Award.   rd  2. OT Ozzy Trapilo No. 57—Boston College offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo  Carolina must think offensive line early in this draft with a bunch of guys in contract years. Trapilo would be appealing for the Panthers as they try to improve Bryce Young's protection. One of those guys in a contract year is longtime starting right tackle Taylor Moton. The 6-foot-8, 316-pound Trapilo could serve as a depth piece in 2025 and a possible heir apparent to Moton, who turns 31 years old in August.   Rd 3 DL  Tyleik Williams Kiper Jr. wrapped up the pull at No. 74, with Ohio State defensive lineman Tyleik Williams: More defense for Carolina. Williams is stout against the run but also shows the quickness and suddenness to penetrate the backfield. He had 21 run stops over the past two seasons, which is good news for a Panthers team that allowed a league-worst 5.2 yards per carry in 2024.

      As most now know, because of my topic about trading Moton, I think Tackle should be pretty high on our wish list. We have a guy at LT who most on this board still don't trust, although maybe last year was the year the lights turned on, and an aging RT who is going to want a contract that keeps him here as a starter until he retires. I just don't like the position we are in at the tackle position. JMO.
