Hurricanes Trade McBain for Andrej Sekera


Recommended Posts

The Hurricanes have traded Jamie McBain and the 35th overall pick to Buffalo for top four defenseman Andrej Sekera.

 

Sekera was originally drafted in the 3rd round (71st overall) by the Sabres in the 2004 NHL Draft

 

Sekera is a six foot, 200 lb. puck moving defenseman that plays a pretty solid two way game. At 27 Sekera is still a young defenseman who can be a solid top four defenseman. Sekera played on Buffalo's first line (defense) with Christian Ehroff last year. Sekera also has experience at the national level as he competed with Slovakia in the 2010 olympics.

 

The great part about Sekera is that he is on a two year contract with only a $2.75 million dollar cap hit.

 

Last year Sekera recorded 2 goals, 10 assists, 12 points, 4 pim's, and a -2 rating in 37 games.

Sekera's best year came during the 2010-11 season when he recorded 3 goals, 26 assists, 29 points, 34 pim's, and a +11 rating.

 

Sekera has logged 92 points in 339 NHL games.

 

This is the first ever trade between Buffalo and Carolina.

Expect the defense to look something like this next year...

 

Faulk - Pitkanen

Sekera - Gleason

Murphy - Harrison

Sekera is a D man that just keeps leaving you wanting more. Can skate and move the puck but doesn't bring it every night

 

 

 

 

 

Sekera is 27, signed through the 14-15 season and brings a 2.75 mil cap hit in each season. At 6' 201 pounds he is a puck mover.

 

 

 

 

This is from a Sabres fan.

 

Just when I give up on Regier, he pulls me back in with a fleecing: Sekera for McBain AND a 2nd? Robbery! #Sabres

If you ask a Sabre's fan, he's horrible. They freaking hate him. lol They are praising this deal for just getting rid of Sekera. lol They just undervalued him and didn't like him as a player. Most I've seen had him as the third best Defenseman that Buffalo had.

Not on HF Boards (which literally has the most intelligent fans for a forum).

 

Congrats Carolina on getting our best D man on a great contract. Seriously can't believe this crap.

 

Why Darcy why

 

No not Sekera, why Darcy why?

 

Boooooooo

 

Sekera has been rated our best d man the last two years. Extremely underrated. You can out him with anyone and he will make that playericon1.png better while still holding down the other teams top players. Terrible move for the Sabres.

 

Nope, terribly underrated. Not happy with this trade at all. God, it's gonna suck seeing Rej in a Cane uniform. Ugh.

Rutherford says can see Sekera, who has 2 yrs left on contract, being paired with Gleason.

 

 

Rutherford said McBain was not in great shape last year and fell into Muller's doghouse. Thinks Mcbain can jumpstart career with Sabres

 

 

Rutherford said Canes offered fifth pick and McBain to Sabres for Sekera and No. 8.

Oh, I know it wasn't a bad trade. I was just laughing at Buffalo fans on Twitter for hating on him. He's on the same line with Gleason now which should help his stats anyway.

    • This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all. 
    • Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.     
    • I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
