The Hurricanes re-signed Erik Cole to a two year deal worth $5.8 million.

Cole had two goals and 15 points in 17 games with Carolina after coming back to the team from the Oilers at the trade deadline. Let's hope he improves upon the zero goals and five assists he collected through 18 post-season games.

I feel so much better. We get Larose back, we are in business. I think if Jussi, Cole, Staal and Cam all have great years, the rest takes care of itself. We know Seidenberg is gonna deliver, we know that Kaberle can produce, we also know that Brindamore brings the pain whenever he can...gonna be a bigger year than last year (especially postseason, barring injury) if we get all the pieces back. Just one more to go.:)

I think its a really fair deal for Cole. I really dont think that we are bringing back LaRose, he would have signed by now. I thought that they would have gone after someone along the lines of Mike Knuble but the Caps just picked him up. Im willing to bet that this is the roster spot for Boychuk. I hope so at least.

He has more tenure than he has done it before. Not sure that he is going to put 20+ goals up over again. I dont think that Jussi is going to score 20+ either. But there wasnt any sense in letting him get away after the he played in the playoffs.

Seidenberg will not be resigned. Kaberle should start in his place.

      Anyone left who does not believe in Bryce ?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't need my QB to have arm talent for me to like them, but I do put a lot of weight to how it can affect that player's max potential when it's as bad as Bryce's is, particularly when combined with his overall size.  Even the most ardent Bryce supporters can't honestly deny that Bryce is likely to have the weakest arm of all starting QB's his entire career, maybe some year's he's only in the Bottom 5, but short of pumping steroids, that's never going to change. I'm not a historian of the league on QB's arm strength compared to others, but how many players with that weak of an arm compared to the rest of the league, also was an above average QB for a sustained period of time? I know Brees didn't have a great arm and that's the comparison people like to use for Bryce, but again, he's smaller and weaker armed than even Brees was, and Brees is one of the biggest outliers in NFL history as is.  Which is why Bryce was also betting on him becoming THE biggest outlier in league history at the position.  Bryce doesn't need to become any certain type of QB for me to like him or to be considered a success.  But he does need to become a QB who raises the play of your team, who can drag you to wins when needed, and has you as a contender in more years than not (all teams have down years, but the great QB's have their teams winning playoff games more years than not). It's why I didn't want to draft Bryce, because I just never did, and still don't, think he has that potential in him for a long period of time and at a high level.  Can we put the perfect team around him and we get the right schedule in any given year for a player like him to lead us to a high seed and maybe make a run, sure of course.   But those teams don't have sustained success because it takes the perfect combination of rookie contracts and lucky picks/signings that all pan out at the right time.  They have a great regular season, flame out in the playoffs, and then go back to being that team that either just misses the playoffs or just makes it in to lose in the first round every year.  Picking in the 13-20 range every year, always missing out on the true elite talent in the draft but still not contending. Is that who fans want us to become?  I know it's better than what we've been for a while, but I want better for my team, I love our Panthers and I want us to win the Super Bowl. Prove me wrong, I want to be wrong, I don't want to be stuck in NFL purgatory, I don't want to need to have to find a new QB in 2 or 3 years because we still can't get into the playoffs. But I am who I am, and I am someone who doesn't keep his team colored glasses on at all times to only looks at the positive, I look at realities and call them how I see them.  And I see Bryce as our path to NFL purgatory at best right now and it scares the living hell out of me. Bryce, prove me wrong.
