Hurney Legacy Good or Bad


stirs

Recommended Posts

All the while, we thought he was great with the cap, but he wasn't. In essence, he opened one credit account to pay another with the way he played restructures. DG is trying to buy the team financial independence so he can have true control over the roster(I.e.,cutting an ineffective JStew and his bloated contract). I'm sure Smith was hard for him and as an observant fan.....I promise there will be more of these type cuts! He has to pay players what they are worth, not what it takes to keep them in CLT

his legacy is very average. yes he shelled out some dumb deals, but he also netted us some GREAT franchise pieces: including a player that no one wanted who was Defensive Player of the league in only in second year. 

 

When he was good he was great, when he was bad- well were still feeling those effects. 

 

Only thing he gets crap for that I refuse to blame him for is Beason. That was completely out of his control, and in fact he made the right call by essentially admitting his mistake and drafting Kuechly.

Gross, Gamble, Davis, Beason, Williams, Cam, Kuechly, Hardy, and CJ among others make it hard to say he was a bad GM. But he fugged us with his stupid extensions.

 

As I said....he was money in the first round.  Really weak in the 2nd-3rd round. 

 

And he SUCKED at contracts and the cap.

    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • 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.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
