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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
