I'm not comfortable with that tail.
We're just going to ramp this up and get the party started.
And here's a question: why hasn't a rat been incorporated into a new secondary logo? Seems criminal that the club is not following up on that. Oh well.
Hearing rumors? Got ideas? Need info to be shared? Post it up. This is YOUR open thread, so anything goes. Breaking news? Report it (with links). Questions? We'll find answers.
This will remain in place through the morning, so check back often...the comments post live.
And thanks for stopping by; it'll be a fascinating day. Go Cats.

Hi All
Thanks for dropping in. We have a shoes-off policy at the door.
Hope you’ll continue to hit The Box as the night – and day – go on. Once more, you hear a rumor, have a suggestion, need to rant…post it up here. We’re gonna lead the free world as “Panthers Info Central”.
I can’t be here every second, but collectively, we can climb mountains. Let’s hear it all.

Nice post by Dave Joseph at the official site:
No one really seems to know how active teams will be come Wednesday due to the cap and economic climate. Vancouver’s GM Mike Gillis is in Sweden trying to negotiate a deal to keep Henrik and Daniel Sedin, who some believe could command $7 million a season each.
That’s market value, chilluns.

It’s funny, Fehr…there really is no hatred here. Pockets of it, yes, but generally nothing crazy. We’ve been expecting this for soooooo long that it doesn’t even register as a problem, or offensive, or traitorous.
Personally? I’m thrilled the watch-andwait deal is over and done with.

I’m sure you are happy that the sideshow is done, I can definitely appreciate that. I’m just annoyed that I think he intentionally mislead the Panthers and killed (or at least helped GMJM kill) his trade value. If he had just said “I don’t want to be here” then fine, the front office could move him. He said he wouldn’t sign before July 1, which kills the trade value for his rights (weird how that all turned out, huh). Granted, GMJM should have read between the lines and known he wasn’t going to resign, but J-Bo just acted like a stuck up cock-tease through the whole process. All this by a guy who has accomplished exactly what in his hockey life?

I wonder if Olli and J-Bo will be road roomies…
Bo + Phaneuf + Olli + Iginla = $$$ wow… wonder if they’ll be able to put a full 20 man roster on the ice all 82 games… they didn’t last year, lol.
Anyhoo, I’m not expecting much action from the Panthers in free agency, beyond resignings at least. Of course, if for whatever reason they can’t get anyone re-signed, they’d kinda have to look elsewhere. right? i mean that just makes sense, but you never know with this franchise. should be an interesting 24 hours.

normally, i wouldn’t threadjack, but if you wander over to my site you might get some entertainment on my post about Calgary playing with a 16 man roster.
Anyway, the last thing I’m going to say about Jay Bo, is I will laugh hysterically if the Flames replicate this year next season, by getting beat in the first round because they have zero offensive punch beyond their first line.

And the silence out of the Billboard is deafening.
Why isn’t Booth signed already – get it done. I do appreciate what they had to do with Eminger, getting burned by arbitration would’ve been bad.
And their blog/press release is fairly vague, no mention of some of the 2 UFA they should pursue – ie Cammelleri, Tanguay.
They really need to make a splash, right now its just a drip.

still waiting to hear david booth and 5 years and millions in the same sentence…..
just wondering, any of you guys go on the miami herald or sun sentinel sites and read their panthers blogs?? its amazing how much bashing the people on there do, as well as the writers. dave hyde’s the latest, making fun of this new endeavor with Rosenhaus. While it might be a little strange, i give the team credit for being creative and unique and trying to do what it can to win over a very fickle and apathetic sports market. granted, bringing in a goal-scorer would create the same buzz. just wanted to see what you guys, who don’t seem to be as hard on the team as others, had to say about that. it really makes me angry sometimes. hopefully today there will be something news-worthy to talk about and not just more rumors..
by alterego6487 on Jul 1, 2009 8:22 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Creative marketing is fine. If it actually results in my season ticket price dropping its even better.
But marketing does not replace getting appropriate talent. This team has been through so much good talent during its history and much of it was lost without capitalizing on it.
I’d rather see them sign 1 great player and a few good ones to round out this team and get it performing.
All the marketing in the world cannot replace performance. Whatever the marketing department tells you contradicting this is flat out wrong.
by coasterg on Jul 1, 2009 8:51 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
absolutely agree. and i think it is supposed to lower your ticket price. i can’t complain, i am not a ticket holder as i dont live close enough to go to the games, yet. but you’re absolutely right, put a winning product out and us south floridians will flock to it…even without the creative marketing schemes.
by alterego6487 on Jul 1, 2009 8:58 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Agree too. Personally I don’t care if they win or lose…,don’t mean that in a nasty way, I like the team either way. Most people probably don’t share my view but yeah….build a great team and they’ll

Quiet day so far. I guess Gomez moving is the big news so far. I think it’s funny, but Gainey could have had his underperforming center who was actually from Quebec if he would have called Holmgren. The guy obviously was not thinking straight last night.

Justin Duberman (Andy’s agent):
“The Panthers have his rights until noon tommorrow and the Panthers have until noon to make an offer, if they want him back, that’s agreeable to Craig, and at this point it hasn’t happened. We had a few conversations today. Both were brief. The Panthers did in fact make an offer. It wasn’t agreeable by us. If they want to readjust it, they can. If not, come noon tommorrow we’ll start talking to other teams.”

the biggest problem I am having with this Rosenhaus stuff, is the timing. It is obviously a cover up for what I am going to assume to be lack of action in free agency, and potentially losing some key current players as well.

was just thinking the same thing, milhouse…poor timing. although the two are different aspects of the team, the whole front office should be focused on the events of today and getting Booth and Leopold signed! yormark really has no say in that, and its all his doing with rosenhaus, so hopefully its not involving deboer and sexton too much.

If they hadn’t offered that “qualifying offer” by the deadline Monday (which they did), he would have been an unrestricted free agent in about 4 minutes. Still not sure why it’s taking so long to get a deal done.

Apparently the Lightning backup Ramo surprised the Bolts by bolting… for Russia, so they needed a #2. Conklin is as good a backup as you can probably get. I wouldn’t have minded seeing florida make an offer to Conklin.

After 13 years of dues-paying as an OHL boss (he was twice Coach of the Year), DeBoer, nicknamed PDB on fan forums, installed an aggressive, push-the-puck style that got the most out of a young squad. Five of the top six scorers are 26 or younger. Aggressive marketing reaped some benefits as well. The Panthers Total Ticket package includes game, a combo meal and a $5 gas card for as little as $17. Even better is the policy that grants first-time fans admittance for free. You can never invest in good karma too early.”

That Keenan stuff pisses me off, but that’s his style. Have yet to see it work.

Good pick up for you guys. Gives you a lot of options with Vokoun now and you didn’t do any real damage to your cap situation. Raise your hand if you wish Sexton got the reigns to the franchise before either of the last 2 GMs!!

Ooooooh yeah.
Sweet deal on Knuble! Rocked it!

Yeah I am pretty pumped about that. He was the only FA I wanted the Caps to pursue. We need a 2C still but I think that hole can only be filled on the trade market.

Oh and I slept in but I was happy to see my man David Booth get a nice new deal when I woke up!

Ok day, so far. Good call on Clemmenson. And I’m thrilled about 6 years on Booth.

yes, that too. For the penalty killing alone he was worth it. I would really like to see Ville back to add some of the “stability” that certain people may think is lacking here…

If that punk took one second away from FLA working more significant pieces I’ll gnaw my elbow off. And be quite angry.

speaking of bad interviews, I always hated Jokinen interviews… but for some reason always liked the Nik Hagman ones
