Per WRAL:

Aaron Ward's deal is done and he's a healthy scratch for tonight's game in TO. Their probably waiting to announce the deal till tomorrow so Ottawa (my guess) can save a little $ on his per day salary. Now the question is....what's coming back the other way.

They TRADED Aaron Ward? JR is a master. There is nothing else I can even begin to say...

Hawk.. do you think they'll trade one of their goaltenders? I heard Price was Gainey's boy.. so maybe with Halak showing the world he can play, does Price get moved? Or do they capitalize on Halak's value?

Yeah Aaron ward has been a bust this season. There are talks now of Whitney not going anywhere. Going to be an interesting 24 hrs.

Yea, It's part him forcing where he goes because of the NTA and him wanting an extension....plus what the canes are asking for. A 1st plus a prospect.

dont like the 3rd for Andrew Alberts, would have preferred to keep him for that hes a bottom pairing big physicaly guy we need.

Robbed Washington for Pothier, Osala, and their 2nd rounder in 2011.

Walker for a 7th round pick isnt much but he hasn't played hardly at all in 2 years, just a salary dump ultimately.

Aaron Ward gone thank God.

Currently have

Gleason-Pitkanen

Picard-Carson

Pothier? / Nobody on D

looks like the team expects, McBain, Rodney, or Harrison to be able to step up and play.

Good trades...JR did some damn fine work with the Corvo trade. Canes now have a ton of 2nd rounds and has some flexibility with what they can do in the draft. I like getting Osala in that trade, he could be a nice pickup.

As for Whitney not being moved, it's what I thought. He didn't want to go anywhere and the only deal that Whitney even new about was the one from a month ago..Which he shot down with the contract extension.

      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.
