Rumor - Canes Adding Tarasenko

Just my personal opinion but Carolina is probably in the same boat as Ottawa and trying to make a trade before signing Tarasenko.

Teams can go 10% over the cap during free agency but doing so essentially negates any leverage you have in a trade. If the Canes signed Tarasenko, then traded for TDA, and then Coghlan signed his QO… we’d be over the cap by like $3.5M.

At that point we have no leverage in a Pesce trade. Teams will look at our cap situation and realize that we have to trade him. At this point in time we don’t have to do anything, we can keep him as a rental if we want.

I’m sure Waddell doesn’t want to go back on his word but at this point I’d sign Tank and call it. If we can move Pesce in a good deal then we can revisit the TDA trade then but I wouldn’t let that hold us up from signing Tarasenko.

Here here, I’m with your on that. Have no desire to see essentially a retooling by trading away our defense. Get Tarasenko and stop there if we can. If not just stop, or if you must, take TDA and stop there.

And people will say you can’t put Orlov on the third pairing, that’s fine then lol, put Skjei there.

You wouldn’t find a better d-corp than Slavin - Burns, Orlov - Pesce, Skjei - Chatfield.

That’s a weird tweet to say pretty much…nothing. And Gold is not the most plugged in person. 

? He says at this time there is no agreement in place. Do you really doubt that? It would have broken by now if there was.

 

Geesh. It’s kinda obvious.

We would have to trade a forward for Tarasenko. Not going to happen. 

Not really.

Drury only played last year because of injuries, people forget that he started in Chicago.

He hasn’t been as impressive as he was when he first came up. And if we did have to move a forward then he’s probably gone since he did request a trade last year.

Pretty obvious he’s right this time. Can’t dismiss that with name calling lol.

He’s right to the sense that Tarasenko hasn’t signed with Carolina yet but that doesn’t make Shayna wrong.

No offense to Adam and WRAL Sports but Shayna and The Athletic are more plugged in lol. Shayna is also based out of NY so she very well could have gotten this from the Rangers or Tarasenko’s camp.

But Gold is saving face right now because he wasn’t able to get the scoop.

      Brees and Payton template for Young

      I mean saying he worked with Wilson is a stretch

      Canales has worked with Wilson, Smith & Mayfield. He didn't move on from them did he? Reich & Canales have both benched Young. Young consumed a bulk of the Panthers' draft capital & free agency the past 2 seasons all for offense. What will it take for people to realize Young isn't a professional athlete, nevermind a leader of professional athletes?

      Brees and Payton template for Young

      Brees was the EXCEPTION. My God why can’t people see this. We didn’t outsmart anybody by drafting Bryce other than ourselves. In his prime Brees was NEVER A PROJECT. He was never just an ok QB before getting plugged in with Payton.  In his second season in SD he threw for 3,200 yards and 17 TDs. His last 2 years in SD he threw 51 TDs while being sacked 55 times. He was already a stud before going to the Saints.  he threw for at least 4,000 f-in yards EVERY SEASON from 2006 to 2018.  He threw for over 5,000 yards in 5 of those. I really thought all of the Bryce people had given up by now. He’s not Drew Brees. He’s not throwing for 80,000 yards and 571 TDs over a 19 year career, while leading one of the most prolific offenses of all time. He would be lucky to have met the guy who once carried DB’s jock.  Bryce is morale poison who throws hospital balls, 2 yard dump offs and pick 6s because he lacks the critical physical attributes to succeed in the NFL as well as the burning desire to BE A CHAMPION. He spent the offseason watching tv and playing video games. Every year wasted on him is a year wasted in developing other actual legitimate talent that exists on offense. Expect XL, the line, and pretty much the entire offense to regress if he starts next season. Canales gets it. It’s about making the Panthers win. Not Bryce.  Imagine being his teammate and hearing that after his pathetic ass rookie season, he went home to watch tv and play video games in the offseason. Imagine what Thielen really thought when he first heard. He should have hired a personal trainer and throwing coach the last day of the season. He needed to immerse himself deeper in to football, he chose to withdraw. he is not and will never be a champion. Dan is putting together some good offensive talent that will be completely wasted with Bryce under center. He’s injected high level talent and veteran leadership on the offensive line. There are skill players with big play ability, who are running free. I’m trying to pump the brakes but this offense is shaping up to be pretty fun to watch, and it only took one offseason’s worth of moves. I don’t think we are as far as people say we are.  So his big contract hit….   Want to know why divorce is so expensive… because it’s worth it.
