Podcast discussing the Florida Panthers
If your point of view is “if you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying”, I get that. Push all the boundaries you can to win.
But to the comment I replied to was complete cognitive dissonance. Let’s not pretend teams who hold players back on IR are not abusing the system.
You replied exactly as I said a person who sees this “injury” through Panthers glasses would. You didn’t add anything, you just agreed with me. You could have saved your time and just pushed the “like” button on my comment.

He is injured, and I would prefer him back and healthy now over any additional stupidity you are trying to imply is planned out. We had 8 regulars at the 4 Nations and held our collective cheeks that something terrible wouldn't derail our aspirations for this season.
Once again, if Chucky could go, nothing and no one would keep him out of the lineup.

Was just one game, but he looked solid last night. Didn’t look out of place and didn’t make any glaring mistakes. He’s also on 2nd pair, is probably with the most sound defense partner he’s had in years and has players around him who play well in a system they know. He was strong on the PK, will get worked into the PP more at some point, and still logged a lot of minutes.
I’m a huge critic of the contract Chicago handed him, but I think he’s fine 7 per. We’ll see how it goes, but he’s what we needed in a number of ways.
Meh, we won our first Cup while being compliant, and we all think Tkachuk would play if he could. The 4 nations meant a lot of him and he did his best to play, he played with a broken sternum in the Finals, he would’ve played more in the tourney if he could have. He’s injured. I’m skeptical we’ll see him at all in the playoffs, but if he’s there game 1, well weren’t the first to do it I guess. We need Chucky out there, but I’d prefer not to look like we’re circumventing.
Actually blew up after Tampa, Vegas followed suit and added to the insanity.
kane did break his collerbone like 7 weeks before the end of the season that's a bit different then injures that you cannot tell how they are coming without the player telling you.

Yeah I do tend to agree. Kane had a clear injury. A lot of the stuff now a days is like muscle injuries or back injuries or random stuff you can't really prove how much its actually affecting someone.
At the end of the day its irrelevant. If I was contending I'd want my GM to do this over and over.

I think it’s a good trade for both sides. I’ve been hearing for years that Jones had one of the hardest contracts in the league to move and here they moved it and got back decent value. He signed to different management before the fall to the very bottom. This management wouldn’t have signed the contract and he probably wouldnt have signed to this team as it is. Good for them.
Florida is always looking to add quality players because this is their window and it doesn’t make sense not to go for it every year while they’re this good. Jones isn’t as bad as people make him out to be and at the right price has value at a position Florida has lost some talent and may lose more of. Good for them.
Good trade.
The thought would probably break the boards but if Jones can be moved in this deal, Nurse could be traded for less value or more retention. Similar contracts and situations, and in the right spot Nurse would be a solid top four guy.

It's less so that injuries are fake and more so they time the return so that it always coincides with the start of the postseason (when there's no cap).
Hard to say the exact date a player ought to have been ready, but it always being at the same time the playoffs begin is obviously on purpose and gaming the system.
So you’re crying about Florida who has a legitimate injury (1 year after winning 100% legit) but no whining about Vegas for the last 4 years with the same player 3 of those years?
The Panthers don’t even have the assets to add like crazy. His injury is legitimate lol. It’s just so crazy the Panthers won last year with no LTIR, no bullshit but somehow people are pissing their pants now with a real injury lmao.

Everyone saw he couldn’t move in the 4nations finals a week ago yet people just question whether or not he’s really injured
Yes I’m sure he faked the 4nations to help Florida..
