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.

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
