Hearing Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford is focusing on landing a defenseman who takes less $. That's his #1 priority right now & nothing else.

Been told 2 guys the Hurricanes are talking to are Ryan Whitney & Ron Hainsey. They'll only sign 1 of them, & less then their asking for.

 

I'm not really a fan of Whitney, but Hainsey is a stud and very underrated at that.

 

If we land Hainsey, I would be fine with moving Pitkanen for a nice winger and rolling with...

 

Hainsey - Faulk

Sekera - Gleason

Komisarek - Harrison

 

Murphy - Bellemore

I saw this post on HF Boards and liked the idea because it would give us a phenomenal defense...

I'm not sure if J.R. wants to spend to the limit, but if he does this would be a great idea...

Trade Harrison to free up enough cap room to sign Ron Hainsey and roll with the following line-up...

Line 1: Jiri Tlusty - Eric Staal - Alexander Semin

Line 2: Jeff Skinner - Jordan Staal - Tuomo Ruutu

Line 3: Patrick Dwyer - Elias Lindholm - Victor Rask

Line 4: Brett Sutter - Riley Nash - Kevin Westgarth

Extra: Jared Staal/ Zac Dalpe/ Aaron Palushaj

Line 1: Joni Pitkanen - Justin Faulk

Line 2: Ron Hainsey - Andrej Sekera

Line 3: Tim Gleason - Mike Komisarek

Extra: Brett Bellemore/ Mark Flood/ Ryan Murphy

Starter : Cam Ward

Back-Up: Anton Khudobin

Call Up: Justin Peters

That's not a bad roster makeup.

why can't JR ever put together a complete team? The last few years he was Forward crazy. Now he is Defense crazy. Lets hope he is looking for more forward help because Jesus Christ that is awful.

Lol, it's because he is a money ***** that never spends to the limit and when he does spend money he throws out ridiculous contracts to Tuomo Ruutu and Joni Pitkanen.

      Answers to the QB equation

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      I think that depends more on how high our pick is. If we have the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd pick i think we are drafting a QB rather than shopping FA market for a QB1. Curious if we’d be reluctant to start a rookie QB week 1 though.

      Hurney 2.0 and Fitts were so bad I don't know if it was intentional or they were that abysmally clueless. Fittershits panicked repeatedly being on the back end of positional runs while Hurney couldn't evaluate anyone outside of the 1st.  I can't figure out why Plummer still has a jersey. There's no reason. Dalton brings nothing to the table. If another QB gets cut that has given a glimmer of anything better than what we have, we should look, and that goes for every position.  I cant get over how much different this team could have been with a competent GM and having accepted the Rams offer for Burns. This franchise could have gone in a totally different direction.

      I thought tanking wasn't actually a thing and we were firmly against it though?
