I think that if we trade Necas we have to be really careful about doing it. Which is why Don Waddell said he would like a young d-man in the return. We can't have another Elias Lindholm trade happen where he flourishes somewhere else. 

As long as it's somewhere on the west coast....

He's on a $7M AAV now, I have to think he wants a 3-4 years somewhere in the $8.5 - 9M range? 

I have to think the Max Patch deal would not have been made had Carolina known this was going to happen. Calgary loses Gaudreau and now offering up Tkachuk after getting closer to the cup than Carolina did... geez, what's going on in Calgary?

Welp Nino signed with Nashville. Hope we have another plan because this team still looks like another in and out kind of playoff team.

So, Nino was making $5.25M in Carolina and signed a deal that will pay him $4M in Nashville for the next 2 years? WTF is going on in the Canes front office and what does this say about the organization that guys will sign elsewhere for less money? Carolina could have easily kept Nino. Instead they will now likely spend upwards of $5.5 - 6.5M to find a third line winger.

It tells me a couple of things:

1. The front office didn't value Nino to the tune of 2x4M. 

2. Could be withholding that money for cap room in a possible trade.

What if they are sneaking in talks with Calgary about Tkachuk? Granted, the Canes would have to give up a lot, but it would be worth it. They don't have enough players with elite scoring ability.

I don't think there were many who thought Nino was going to return.

How about Necas, Teuvo and a 1st? It would certainly make cap sense by including Teuvo.

Makes sense to me. Both Marty and TT often appeared to be reluctant shooters on a team that lives by putting shots on goal. Both could be consistent 50 point guys every year if they weren't so damn hesitant about shooting the puck.

This is worth mentioning:

"The Flames selected Tkachuk with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. According to The Athletic, he has given Calgary a list of teams with whom he would agree to a long-term contract and according to a source of The Athletic, the teams include the St. Louis Blues, Vegas Golden Knights, Florida Panthers, Nashville Predators and Dallas Stars."

The Hurricanes are nowhere on that list.

Also have a tweet from a respected NHL journalist saying that list is incorrect.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
