RALEIGH, NC – Ron Francis, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has agreed to terms with goaltender Drew MacIntyre on a one-year, two-way contract. The deal will pay MacIntyre $600,000 in the NHL or $250,000 in the American Hockey League (AHL) for the 2014-15 season, with a guarantee of at least $300,000.

“Drew had a strong season last year and provides veteran depth for our organization in net,” Francis said.

MacIntyre, 31, was 29-15-3 with a 2.53 goals-against average and .917 save percentage in 48 regular season games for the AHL’s Toronto Marlies in 2013-14. The Charlottetown, P.E.I., native also appeared in two NHL games for the Maple Leafs, going 0-1-0 with a 2.53 goals-against average and .922 save percentage. MacIntyre (6’1”, 190 lbs.) was 10-4 with a 2.08 goals-against average and .941 save percentage in 14 Calder Cup playoff games for the Marlies, helping Toronto reach the Western Conference Final before falling to eventual Calder Cup Champion Texas in seven games.

Detroit’s second selection, 121st overall, in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, MacIntyre has played six NHL games with Vancouver, Buffalo and Toronto, registering a 2.41 goals-against average and .912 save percentage. He has appeared in 353 career AHL games, going 192-117-21 with a 2.43 goals-against average, and was named to the AHL’s Second All-Star Team in 2008-09 and 2007-08.

Meh. Another average body in net. We still don't have our starting goalie clearly defined. The man in net has to be confident that a bad game isn't going to result in him on the bench. He carries insecurity on the ice with him. It's a long season. We're already a year or two away from having a playoff team as it is. We don't need to repeat our sporadic goalie play like we did last year. Should have moved Ward when we had the chance. Then this guy would make a ton of sense as Doby's backup. Instead, he'll get shipped back and forth when Cam gets hurt (and he will) and split games with Doby, resulting in neither catching stride for long.


Maybe it's just my pessimism given how we've handled our goalie situation for 4 years now, but something has got to give at some point.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
