Yesterday the Carolina Hurricanes met with college free agent Danny DeKeyser. DeKeyser is a defenseman for Western Michigan and is being coveted by every team in the NHL.

Last year, the Canes used Rod Brind'Amour and Ron Francis to sell Jeremy Welsh on joining the Canes. It is thought that they did the same thing to DeKeyser yesterday.

DeKeyser is expected to make a decision by the end of the week.

From ESPN Rumor Mill:

Since DeKeyser is said to want play in the NHL immediately, the promise of a lineup spot right off the bat could go a long way in wooing the young defenseman.

Don't know how many teams could offer playing time immediately, but surely it can't be many.

That might take his favorite team Detroit out of it.

Boys I see Carolina as being a real possibility at landing Danny, who is supposedly the next big thing.

And boy do we need some young talent. Outside of Rask and Murphy, I don't think we have any high talent prospects in the organization.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
