Great move by the Canes, we aren't in any kind of cap trouble so it's all good.

Yes!!!

fug yeah, I'm so excited about getting to see Semin in Raleigh for a long time. It would have been hard to swallow seeing Semin go. Given JR's history, I was worried he would blow the Semin deal. I mean, look what happened to Ovechkin now that he can't play with his Semin anymore.

Ovechkin has 31 points and is on fire....

But yeah, this is a deal that had to be done. I dunno how we're gonna like it in 5 years but right now, I'm excited.

This deal obviously takes us out of the free agency bin, we are going to have to start drafting extremely well from here on out. Also let's hope that Rask can make the jump in the next year or two to really make this teams offense lethal.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I'd also expect JR to go after a few more Russians now, whether that be in the draft or some lesser known one's in free agency.

We are getting younger and stronger.

Now watch somebody get traded......

Russian hockey players are boss.

Yes, but you could see the disappointment in his eyes, after all 31 of those points, that he couldn't celebrate with Semin in his face afterwards.
