Seems like you are still talking about Nick but he got the current deal he has after riding shotgun one season with Huby. LOL
We hand out preemptive contract extensions like candy on Halloween
Sometimes good sometimes bad,
Smith was actually really good defensively though. It was never a myth because he won a couple of board battles.Reminds me of a certain someone's 15 goal, 37pt, 80 game season, paid $3.5 million in salary.
Guess who?
Preach, oh and he also had chemistry with Trocheck which we never replaced and continue to grind on every season.Smith was actually really good defensively though. It was never a myth because he won a couple of board battles.

Doubt anything major happens. Nobody is going to really trade us what we need for a reasonable price and Tallon rarely overpays. I don't really disagree with this either.
Obviously we need a goalie. I don't want bob, but not sure what other viable alternatives we have. Give monty a try this season and see what comes available in the offseason, no need to rush for a goalie now that season is done.
Same on d. Obviously need help there but will be expensive mid-season. Offload pysyk and bog (not that I want to, but no way he re-signs) and see what we have with macdonald and mccoshen.
Forwards we need quality depth which again we won't get now. I'd like to keep brouwer but he's a good trade chip and his salary probably goes up next season. I'd keep barkov, hubs, hoff, dads, bjug, tro, borg, maybe sceviour. These guys can do better next year if surrounded properly. Sell the rest if there's interest.
Wish we would get a new coach but unless we lose something like 15 straight, I don't think it's happening. If it was, would have happened already. If they tallon/ownership has any sense, they throw money at coach q before this core is wasted. But I think our owners are too cheap and coach q may not want to join this mess.
Also older and more risk to extend.I don't care if Kis goes, the coach isn't playing him anyway. Same with Pysyk, who in the end cares?
In the end these guys won't fetch much at all, certainly not enough to address key problems.
You have to much a guy like Hoffman or Dadonov to get something significant back otherwise these moves won't do ****.
Personally I prefer keeping Dadonov since he's a more complete player and his UFA contract won't be as long and rich as Hoffman's.
Q doesnt like rooksI don't think its money, and who knows we have a lot of young talent which Q works well with. Maybe he wants to build another team again ?
Someone trading for Bjugstad is going to be a GM that wanted him at the draft, missed out on him, has seen him play well here at times and will take a shot on him. I know, super specific. Which is why I think he stays.I don’t think anyone would take Bjugstad. That’s just me.
NMC I believe.Is Yandle untouchable? I haven’t heard his name much in trade talk.. I figure with the season he’s having he’d fetch us the most, and I’d like to trade him while his value is so high.
What does Tallon have to sell?
He has plenty of players other teams want, only those are the ones he isn’t willing to part with.
So, despite fans shouting on social media for the Panthers to burn things to the ground, expect Tallon and the Panthers to clean up the front yard a bit but not do anything heavy.
The Panthers feel they are close to having a team that can compete; big renovations are not needed.
I don’t necessarily disagree but he doesn’t even know what to add.From the GR article.
The article is up from GR.
But I dont have a sub.
Tallon has always wanted kapanenThey’re saying Kasperi Kapanen could be available?
Matheson for Kapanen, get it done. Of course it’s tallon so he won’t trade the guy he just signed but it’s nice to dream
It sounds like GR's article for the Atlantic are about as disapointing as the team he's suppose to write about...eh nothing really new. he just describes the scrubs we have available without too much depth or detail. no analysis on needs or potential trading partners or any new news.
Kapanen is more valuable than Matheson at the moment. He's in a slump big time and his value is minimal.They’re saying Kasperi Kapanen could be available?
