In the dozen years since moving from Hartford, the Carolina Hurricanes seem to have learned a thing or two about southern hospitality. That might explain why they have no problem welcoming back people who have left them in the past. The Hurricanes have had second go rounds with nine former players since the lockout ended, and last season even repatriated a coach who spent seven years behind the bench and had been on the hot seat for many of them.

Damn straight! Age of some of the players is the only factor I think could hinder the Hurricanes this year. On paper, they are starting to look beastly.

I love Jim Rutherford. Our weaknesses were apparent last season and we fixed that problem bringing in guys like Kosotpoulos, Ward, Yelle, and Alberts who all offer a HUGE upgrade in toughness and grit as well as an upgrade in defense. Along with re-signing Ruutu, Cole, Jokinen and LaRose.

We have an excellent combination of speed, skill, grit and flat out toughness. Ward should help to bolster our blueline and in my opinion is one of the most underrated defenseman in the NHL today and Alberts is an absolute hit-machine, the guy is a big body and he moves people at will. It's also worth noting that our forwards are very deep and we will have the talent and ability to put 4 solid lines on the ice.

Bottom line: I'm really looking forward to this year and I think we can win the division and have our best shot yet at winning the cup since 06.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By Basbear · Posted

      3rd and Chandler Zavala.......... Id toss in Yohsi or Brano/DJ Johnson if that's what it took to get the trade done.    Bungals need OL B-A-D   Its un-godly to treat a unique HOF level level like Burrow with the OL they have and seems going to this year. People forgot during that bungal SB year, Burrow was sacked like 62 times and I believe had the highest hurries as well. They should be in jail for this, no memeing....

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      By Basbear · Posted

      I will admit this- Kon doesn't look or play like a 19 year. Much bigger and filled out than I thought he was. Plus initiate the offense during his best quarter and he did make some good passes for FG attempts.   I watch NBA years ago and was a top 3 fantasy yahoo managers for years. Many times a player had like 30 points, it mostly came from one or 2 hot quarters. The others were 5 and 0, so his 16 point game is normal in that regard.    If Ball, bridges, and Miller allow Kon to be apart of the team, just depends on if he clicks of not. Another generic white guy comp popped in my head........he of hornet lore-Gordon Hayward 15 points 5 rebs 3.5 asst Maybe??
