Pack it in... Bring on McEichel

Well after watching the Canes get dismantled today by the Flyers, I've officially decide to pack it in and so have the Canes as they are tied for dead last in the NHL with Edmonton (who we played just a decade ago for the Stanleu Cup).

Contrary to Peter Karmanos's belief that this team is good enough to win the whole thing, the Canes simply aren't a good hockey team.

Their #1 center is an enigmatic player that beats to his own drum (E. Staal), then there is the million dollar Russian who has one goal (Semin), the hobbled #2 center (J. Staal), the garbage goal machine first line winger (Tlusty), a midget (Gerbe), a ginger (Nash/who has supeisingly played well), a couple of swedes that are pissed off they're in Raleigh (Lindholm/Rask), a concussion waiting to happen (Skinner), a few AHL forwards (Terry/Boychuk), and a few forwards that shouldn't even be playing in the NHL (Malone/McClement), a dude whose name sounds like a nasal allergy (Nestrasil), a third liner who somehow ends up on the first line at random times (Dwyer) team USA (Faulk), Suh-care-uh (Sekera), two dudes who were traded for each other (Gleason/Liles), a guy who constantly scores on his own net (Hainsey), a few guys that take penalties at the worst opportuned time (Harrison/Bellemore), a dude named after the greatest athlete ever (Jordan), and two goalies that have swapped places since last year (Ward/Khudobin).

That sounds like a team that can win it all?!?!

Bring on McEichel!!!

Connor McDavid: 18 GP, 16 goals, 35 assists, 51 points, +34, 26 PIM

Jack Eichel: 16 GP, 8 goals, 19 assists, 27 points, +21, 10 PIM

That's it for your public service announcement.

I'm assuming you guys have been paying close attention to your potential future Hurricanes at the World Jr's?

I expected a lot more from Eichel

Yeah I thought McDavid looked good and I was really impressed with Dylan Strome.

As for our prospects I thought Tolchinsky from Russia looked good, I'm bummed that Fleury didn't make a Team Canada though.

    • Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down. 
    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • 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.
