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.

    • Hello there.  We are rolling out a complete overhaul of the Huddle. Why: Frankly this site is so old the database and antiquated software has gotten unmanageable. There is not much we can do to fix anything anymore. The new site is wired for the future including getting back in the app stores.    When:  Hopefully by early July so that we can test and recover things. After the migrations we will still have access to the old site behind the scenes to bring over anything we missed.    Wait, will I lose anything?  We are only bringing over topics and posts from the past calendar year. The tinderbox is being set on fire and rolled off a cliff. All it ever did was made this place feel horrible all while changing approximately 0 minds in 20 years.  The new site will only have 4 forums to keep this joint Carolina team sports focused. Panthers, Hornets, Charlotte FC, Hurricanes.    Improved Moderation  This is a clean slate for us, as such if you are a problematic member (you know who you are) that enjoys getting banned and coming back, we aim to make it much more difficult for you. However, upon the move your slate is clean. Take advantage of it.  We would love to get this place back to what it used to be. Nice folks with friendly banter centered around Carolina sports. We will be using the BAN HAMMER liberally to rid this place of people who aren't interested in that or try to drag the new site back into the gutter.   New Features With new tech comes new features we will be rolling out over the rest of the year.    What about the damn ads?  Fewer and less problematic ads. Again, new tech allows for this. Without ads this place gets shut down.    What if I can't login?  If you can't login due to not being able to reset your password from the login screen, email [email protected] with your username and we will get you squared away.    Let me know if you have any specific questions.
