Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Answers, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! As I expected, most of the questions that came in this week were heavily centered around the future of Bryce Young, and by association the future of the coaching staff.

The St. Louis Blues are not a good team this season and it is going to take quite a bit to turn things around so that the GM doesn't start to have to make significant changes. The Blues are stuck in the middle while having too many tradeable veterans in places where the youth can step in and step up to take over once they're gone. It makes sense for a retool because this isn't a team likely to rebuild at this stage. The Blues are in talks with teams, as it would be odd if GMs don't call and se...

The Columbus Blue Jackets are two wins over .500, but in a very crammed race for the playoffs in the East right now. Things will start to separate further into the season, but it is no lock that the team that hasn't made the playoffs in the past five years takes the step in. If the Blue Jackets are in a position to sell, they will have suitors for multiple players, including Boone Jenner. He is in the final year of his four-year deal at $3.75 million AAV, which is very attractive for team...
The Nashville Predators are sinking early in the season, and the pressure on head coach Andrew Brunette has never been higher. After last year’s 30th-place finish, general manager Barry Trotz insisted on giving Brunette another chance, calling him a “good, young coach” who deserved patience. But at 5-9-4 with a 1-6-2 slide, trade rumors swirling around stars like Steven Stamkos , and visible frustration from players such as Ryan O’Reilly , the Predators look lost again. That has in...

It's no secret that the Minnesota Wild are not having the best first month of the season.
