Not official yet, but I trust Bobby Mac.

Edit: for those on Tapatalk: Cam Ward is on the verge of signing a two-year contract extension with CAR.

I guess they don't listen to their analytics folks on goaltending matters.

Best off-season ever, amirite?

Maybe, though, his 2nd half numbers weren't bad, and they're probably okay with the risk, considering what their expectations should be.

Also, this feels like a sign-and-expose in the expansion draft kind of contract.

Not a great signing or anything but there aren't great options on the market and Carolina probably can't ask their fans to sit through another rebuild.

Yeah, and I guess really it's not as if there were a ton of better options out there.

Though he is 34th out of 34 goalies in SV% since 2012-13 with at least 100 games played.

Sometimes you can't save people from themselves.

 

[Deebo]

3.3M AAV is reasonable.

The hilarity of stupidity continues around the league.  Man this is getting fun.
