Brendan Morrow Receiving Interest From Canes


Recommended Posts

Here's an update on the interest in Morrow...

 

http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/blog/eye-on-hockey/22811319/nhl-rumors-hurricanes-could-be-interested-in-brenden-morrow

 

I think Morrow would be a good guy to have on the second line with Ruutu and Staal... Maybe a line-up like this is reasonable...

 

Jiri Tlusty - Eric Staal - Alexander Semin

Brendan Morrow - Jordan Staal - Tuomo Ruutu

Jeff Skinner - Elias Lindholm - Victor Rask

Patrick Dwyer - Riley Nash - Zac Dalpe

Kevin Westgarth

Drayson Bowman

 

Possible Call Ups: Aaron Palushaj, Nicolas Blanchard, Zach Boychuk, Jared Staal, Brett Sutter, Chris Terry, Jeremy Welsh

 

Joni Pitkanen - Justin Faulk

Andrej Sekera - Tim Gleason

Mike Komisarek - Jay Harrison

Brett Bellemore

 

Possible Call Ups: Ryan Murphy, Mark Flood, Michal Jordan

 

Cam Ward
Anton Khudobin

 

Possible Call Ups: Justin Peters

Dwyer, Skinner, and Nash are certainly not prospects... and Lindholm was a 5th overall pick; so there's no reason that he can't succeed.

 

The other two guys (Dalpe and Rask) are only going to be able to prove themselves if you give them a chance.

 

On top of that, with only $3 million left in cap room you can't sign two more wingers.

 

It's time to put some faith in the prospects.

Palushaj, Dalpe, Rask, Lindholm are prospects. And Nash hasn't played a full 82 game season yet so you could call him one too.

 

Bowman sucks. All the forwards you named in possible call ups suck as well.

 

I'd like a better rotational defenseman instead of Bellemore as well. We fall in love with players that have 1 or 2 good games too quick and pass on other players that could really improve the team.

You're never going to have all-starts from top to bottom...

 

If you compare that bottom six to other NHL bottom six's, it looks the same.

 

Also, I wouldn't say any of those players suck... they're playing professional hockey. And once again the only way these players aren't going to be prospects anymore is if you let them play.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you're looking for an all-star team. If you want an all-star team you might just want to become a Penguins or Blackhawks fan.

    • It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?
    • I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
    • The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
