Keep in mind no #1 and a good # of holes to fill. Right now the FO can NOT afford to have any serious whiffs in their picks.

Also, there are young guys that will get some PT and thats cool. But look at the guys they were backing up. They were backing up many guys that were either let go from their former team or not that great.

This draft may end up being the most important one in the franchise's history.

Ok...how would you prepare your team if you're heading into an uncapped year with the more than likely potential of a capped/rookie salary setup the next...or a lockout. Do you lock in a lot of large contracts? Or simply be frugal to prepare.

I don't know.

This is the biggest question. How do you bridge this year thru 2012

If it were me...I'd be frugal and stockpile picks. I'm talking Hershel Walker-esque trade (Smitty or DeAngelo).

*runs out of thread...fast*

I have had the very same thought. Hope not but they need to load up on value.

      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.

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