Most of you probably already know by now that Ruutu has signed a four year extension to stay in Raleigh with the Carolina Hurricanes, but here is the press release.

Ruutu signed a four-year contract extension on Wednesday, which keeps him, along with Eric Staal, Cam Ward and Tim Gleason, with the Hurricanes through the 2015-16 season. This officially removes one of the most coveted forwards from the market with the trade deadline now just five days away.

Hurricanes President and General Manager Jim Rutherford made it clear how he views Ruutu’s role on the team, saying he’d be “extremely difficult to replace.” The team wanted to keep him in the fold, and Ruutu was more than happy and overly grateful that he was given the opportunity to stay.

“Most of all, the people – on my team, in this organization and Raleigh overall,” Ruutu said, when asked what made him want to re-sign. “I like being here, and I really think we have a good future.

“I’ve still felt comfortable throughout the whole process. I’ve been sure about what I wanted to do, and I’m really happy that they wanted to have me here.”

Yeah, it's a pretty feel good warm and fuzzy signing that everyone is happy with. I'm glad he is committed to the organization and didn't test the waters of free agency, because he would have been tempted with a lot of money elsewhere. Now we have a great core locked up for several years... need another top 6 guy for the first line and the Canes can really do some damage.

      Is J-Stew a team propagandist?

      OK, let me first say that I can't get any Twitter link to embed--using "X" or "Twitter" or whatever, and I'm tired of trying. Now, I must say that I see Panthers stuff in Facebook on occasion as I'm part of some group, but I see Panthers stuff even less on the cesspool that is now X, but as a follower of the official Panthers Twitter, stuff pops up on that feed too. I guess that I shouldn't be surprised that agents of the organization would be putting out tweets like this: He's not even trying to be objective. It stands to make sense though. In order to get better information, you have to go to national sources like Kurt Warner.  I'm not necessarily trying to pick on J-Stew, per se, but I can't take him seriously, as even some past Panthers players, like Greg Olsen for example, don't seem like they're just trying to cater to Panthers Nation, just saying hollow words to make everyone feel good.  I just wonder why here on the Carolina Huddle, there seems to be more objectivity, or at least more critical thinking and serious discussion than most other social media sources on the Panthers. It's interesting. There is a significant difference.  For all the changes and the seeming decline in popularity to whatever degree, the Carolina Huddle still has its place and plays a big part in overall Panthers fandom. We want to be happy, joyous and cheer for the Panthers, but we aren't necessarily trying to shoot sunshine up people's derrières either.

      Should Canalas bring someone else in to call offensive plays?
