Corvo, McBain, Murphy all on the block?

Sources have told TFP that Rutherford is looking to acquire a top-four defenseman, though a deal is not imminent.

However, with a surplus of defensemen on the roster, Rutherford could deal others, like Corvo and McBain, for assets that could be used to package for a more potent defenseman.

Oh, word?

The Coyote are shopping Yandle, though a deal may not be completed until the April 3 trade deadline, at the earliest, and Phoenix GM Don Maloney would want a top young talent packaged as part of a deal in return.

Maloney would undoubtedly want Ryan Murphy, the Hurricanes' first-round pick in 2011, as part of a package, however it's unclear what other pieces could be included that the Coyotes would be interested in.

The Hurricanes will not consider moving star forward Jeff Skinner, and that might be where the conversation ends.

How is Skinner even still mentioned in trade fodder? It will not happen, not for anybody.

Been saying this all along.

Murphy, McBain, 2013 First

Faulk - Gleason

Pitkanen - Yandle

Corvo - Harrison

I'd be stoke if this happened, considering we are on course to pick in the mid to late rds for the 2013 entry - and the talent drops off well below what Yandle can do.

I'd punch a baby if we traded Skinner.

Its time for Rutherford and Karmanos to put their money where there mouth is. You say you have the money, you say your willing to do what it takes to get a guy you want.

This one is gonna hurt worse than losing Sutter. But if you make this move, we can win a cup this year.

Our top 2 lineliness are unstoppable. Cam has enough magic left I'm the tank and we finally have a capable back up for him.

Solidify this defense and we can beat any team in the league any given night. Do this and bring a cup back to Raleigh.

Realistically, I think the Canes could get Yandle for Murphy, McBain, LaRose and a 2013 first

By playoff time, the Canes could roll with this lineup.

Tlusty - E. Staal - Semin

Skinner - J. Staal - Ruutu

Bowman - Jokinen - Dwyer

Nodl - Brent - Wallace

Westgarth

Faulk - Gleason

Pitkanen - Yandle

Corvo - Harrison

Sanguinetti

Ward

Ellis

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By d-dave · Posted

      The problem that Bryce faces is his lack of prototypical tools.  He's not the tall, strong armed mobile QB that tends to get drafted first overall.  His game is not played in underwear on a practice field.  His best asset are his intangibles.  They aren't sexy like a cannon arm or a fast 40 yard dash. OK, so we took the lesser athlete.  Bryce put up a pretty bad season with a bad team around him.  The coaching staff, for all it's platitudes, sucked.  They made sure Bryce could run a huddle, but didn't help him get better as a player.  Bad choice. Compare that to what other teams did to their Rookies:  they put them in position to succeed with better personnel and better play calling.  Sure, there are physical differences which are going to affect the outcomes, but you can't change it. Am I trying to ride to the defense of Bryce?  Only a little.  He's my favorite team's QB, and I believe in him.  Now, he's got this year to show that he's "the No. 1 for a reason" (Thanks CJ Stroud).  Will he, won't he?  I don't know at all.  That's on the D&D crew to put Bryce is position to play well.  Running the ball is going to make things a lot easier for Bryce.  Does that discount his success if he plays well?  For some of y'all it will.  Some of y'all just don't like Bryce, like he stole you DoorDash or something. Regardless, let's see what happens in 2024.  If Bryce stinks it up, then we're going back to the QB well again.

      we may think we know, but we don't know. we won't know what effect upgrades on the OL, coaching staff, and WR room will have. we don't know what scheme canales is going to put together. we don't know a lot of things.  that's why we play the games...to see what shakes out. plenty of reasons to think Bryce is limited this year...again. Plenty of reasons to see an improvement in his play.

      He did not elevate the players around him, but they de-elevated their QB.  A QB like Bryce needs a system, a strong OL, a Running game, and WRs that can get open.  Call him a manager at best, but so is a point guard.  That is all we should need.  He is smart enough to grow into a very effective player.  I once saw a Coach talking about the OL--i forget who it was Schottenheimer comes to mind--and he said, you can succeed if you have one weak link on the OL.  If you get 2 weak links, success comes 10x harder.  If you get three weak links, your season is over.  Your QB is injured, and you are unemployed (paraphrasing).  I would say that we had 4 weak links (Icky does not get a pass) and a RB who was not good at pass blocking. I am not saying the Bryce is the answer at QB--but I am saying we don't know yet. I know QBs (college) and when the OL sucks, they collapse mentally over time.  That is what we saw--a QB who had never played without the advantage.
