Hurricanes Focused On Hainsey and Whitney


Recommended Posts

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.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
