Injuries, Coaching Search, And The Captain's Future


Recommended Posts

Injuries

 

- Alexander Semin is currently recovering from wrist surgery. Many assumed that there was an injury plaguing the Russian winger as he struggled with his shot at times last season. In my opinion, he will come back better than ever next summer.

 

- Andrei Loktionov had successful shoulder surgery. That's currently all the info we have on him.

 

Coaching Search

 

The Hurricanes have already interviewed three coaches (no names released) and they plan on interviewing three more. MyNHLTradeRumors believes that Karmanos will go the cheap route in the coaching search. In my opinion that leaves the job open to only four individuals: Kevin Dineen, Ulf Samuelsson, Rod Brind'Amour, or Gary Roberts.

 

Eric Staal's Future

 

- When asked about the future of Eric Staal with the team, Ron Francis replied that it all depends on the teams budget for the upcoming season... take that for what's it worth.

 

That's all I got.

Of those 4, the only setup I like is to get BOTH Dineen and Samuelsson. Since that isn't happening, fug Karmanos. 



We need to buy out a couple bad contracts. Jordan is getting overpaid by at least 2 mil. Semin is aging and, bad wrist last season or no, his production doesn't warrant his contract. I want to keep both guys, but they're KILLING our cap. Eric is making damn near Sid Crosby money...and I love him, but he's no Sid Crosby.


Until we fix those contracts, we're fuged.

Yeah on a scale of 1-10.... Karmanos is a dumbass.

 

 

Haven't heard any news on coaching search? Any new information? Seems like we had specualtion and then everything went dead silent. Have we conducted interviews?

Francis said that there is a possibility that they go into the draft without a coach. The latest news was that we have interviewed three coaches and plans to interview three more.

A report came out that Samuelsson was the guy and we were waiting until the Rangers were eliminated out of respect to them to announce the hiring. Since then former Hurricane defenseman and current TSN employee Aaron Ward said that, that report was inaccurate and that we have not narrowed our choice.

A new name has also come up and it's John Stevens, assistant coach for the Kings.

Finally, the most recent news came today from Michael Smith...

@MSmithCanes: .@RonFrancis10 on #Canes coaching search: "The process is moving along, and we’re working hard trying to find the right guy.”

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
