I can see him parting with next years first and us drafting 2 first round picks. NOT saying I endorse it.....just got that feeling. People will be trying desperately to get rid of first rounders this year and Hurney will try to make up for not having a 3rd.

I dont see him trading away future 1st or 2nd round picks. If anything I could see us trading down in the first to pick up a 2nd and then maybe packaging those 2 move back up again. Anyway I just dont see anyway that he will trade future high round picks again. A lot of his reasoning in doing so before was directly related to John Fox.

Who would he exactly be pulling the trigger for?

The only way he would trade up is if it was a pick and player like Stewart. He won't give up multiple picks. When you don't venture into free agency every pick is very valuable.

His track record says otherwise.

He learned under Bobby Beathard, one of the guys that was known as a wheeler and dealer.

When building, and Hurney should have known that we were in that mode for the past 3 seasons, you should only trade back and get more picks, unless a franchise QB slips.

Hurney did not do this, and we are suffereing because of it.

We also used to make forays into free agency in years past. We gave up our first round in 2009 and 2010 and what happened? We lost first rounders which we could have used to get great players. We traded up for Otah and Brown and a second for Edwards. Don't you think he learned something from those mistakes???

all for it

what the hell is wrong with getting your 1st rounder a year early?

especially if you don't plan on finishing low enough to get a top ten next year anyway

when you have a run n front of you, you gladly mortgage your 20-something pick

if he does it, then I have a very good idea where his head is concerning our potential this year

players and coaches can blow "SB or bust" smoke all they want. If Marty does this, he is putting his money where his mouth is

I certainly fuging hope so. I have very little faith in our GM. However, I hope you are right, and he learned from his F up's.

If I were as bad at my job as Hurney is at his, well, let's just say I would have a lot more time on my hands.

      Another Win

      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.
