Hurricanes may not resign Nedejkovic

With a roster like ours, it is not the time to be being a cheap ass. 

It’s not about being a cheap ass. We have plenty of cap space to play with but we have a ton of people to resign including Svech and a second goalie no matter what.
 

4-4.5 for 2-3 years is fine for Ned prove it seal in the scheme of things. If his upper arbitration limit is 4.5 I wouldn’t be to worried. I would be worried if he’s asking for vas or price money and can get it through arbitration. He had one decently good half season, ABH is right. We need to see what he can do in a full season with a heavier work load.

I think this all just posturing from both sides.  Ned will get his raise, but the Canes cannot break the bank and term on him - he only has a partial season and two playoff rounds where he has been the man.

Oh, we also didn't win the President's Trophy this year even though we had a chance....and yes I give a ton of credit to Nedejkovic for having that opportunity.

With Dundon, it's always about being a cheap ass...

Sent Kaiton packing to save a nickel.

Lowballed Forslund straight to NBC.

Sent the Checkers packing to make a few bucks.

Picking fights with Centennial Authority bc he doesn't want to pay his rent.

Got into a public pissing match with a beloved head coach and former player bc he didn't want to pay the assistant coaches and trainers.

Make no mistake, it's definitely about the $$$, first and foremost, when it comes to Mr. Slumlord.

Don't be surprised when Tripp's contract comes up and they replace him with some freshman intern from Wake Tech.

Hell, I'd bet money that Stormy is just a handful of stray cats stuffed into the costume at this point.

I'm so glad someone else sees this. Until proven otherwise, Tom Dundon doesn't really care about winning. He got lucky and inherited a team that was going to be good no matter who owned. This is the offseason that is going to make or break our stanley cup hopes and so far from what we've seen, Dundon is not stepping up to the plate. 

One thing I can't stand is how he ALWAYS talks about the team like its an investment, saying things like "while I'm here" and "as long as I'm the owner". I get the feeling that he's treating the team like people do cars or houses and that he plans on flipping it for profit eventually. He really seems like he's going to end up making us the Bengals of the NHL.

I agree with the overall sentiment, but Tripp's contract did expire and he was re-signed!

Stormy has been two handfuls of stray cats stuffed in the costume the past two seasons!  😜

I honestly think a deal gets done. Dumdum already caved to Chancellor Brind'Amour once this offseason. And, I hope he's not dumb enough to let a talent like Ned walk out that door.

Ned is not gonna get $10million per like Vas or Price. I don't know what my ceiling would be as a GM, but if I was Ned, I'm not taking less than 5.

Exactly Stumpy. We need to retain Ned.

Well I was wrong....Ned did get his raise, but not from the Canes.  I guess they didn't like the small sample size of his actual games played! 

Playing with fire - this is either going to look good like the Skinner deal played out or the Canes just made a very big mistake.  We'll know in a couple of years.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
