"Latest on the Hurricanes
Carolina is trying to make trades, but not necessarily for the reasons you'd think. They're not giving up on this season this early. The Hurricanes still believe in the core of this team. But because the Canes have nine contracts up at the end of the season and are currently one of the oldest teams in the NHL, it's believed GM Jim Rutherford is trying to acquire some youth. Keep an eye on the Hurricanes."

Can we give Babchuk whatever contract he wants? At least he knew how to shoot the damn puck with some gusto.

Shooting the puck isn't the problem. We can't pass or defend.

There comes a point when a "veteran" team becomes just an "old" team. I think it's pretty obvious right now that our team is indeed a step too slow on offense and on defense. It's time to call up the young guys and sit out the veterans. The fans should at least get a glimpse of the future in this lost season.

Lots of news.

Quote :
"Eric Staal's injury will cause him to miss a few games, GM Jim Rutherford said today, meaning Staal's consecutive-game streak will end."


Good news IMO. He shouldn't return until he is 100%.

http://hurricanes.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=504461#

Quote :
"While the start to the Hurricanes’ season is disappointing to any observer, it’s most disappointing to the man who put the team together.

“From the player personnel point of view, I take responsibility for the decisions I made,” said General Manager Jim Rutherford, whose team is off to a 2-8-3 start. “I probably should have gone about this a different way, and I take full responsibility for what’s going on. Now I have to fix it.”

No one faulted the GM for keeping the bulk of last season’s Eastern Conference finalists together, or for bringing in free agents Andrew Alberts, Tom Kostopoulos, Aaron Ward and Stephane Yelle, among others. Rutherford shared the widespread optimism surrounding the team over the summer, but hindsight is 20/20 in the Hurricanes’ current nine-game winless streak.

“You try to re-sign everybody and you re-sign players, and they get in a totally different position in their career than they’ve ever been,” said Rutherford, who re-signed Erik Cole, Chad LaRose, Jussi Jokinen and Tuomo Ruutu from last year’s team. “Maybe we should have had a little bigger change. Maybe we shouldn’t have gone with as many veteran players as we did. I don’t have the answers for it, nobody does, and everybody can guess. Obviously, whatever I did didn’t work.”

Rutherford indicated he would like to make changes to his team, but acknowledged that would be difficult given the early stage of the season. Teams looking to add players take on a bigger financial responsibility now than they would at the trade deadline, and many don’t have substantial cap space following recent off-season signings.

One direction Rutherford may take is giving more responsibility to the team’s talented young players in Albany, such as Drayson Bowman and Zach Boychuk, who have hovered around a point-per-game pace in their first full professional season at the AHL level.

“If we can move certain players, then we can start to transition into the team that we felt we would transition into next year,” said Rutherford. “We do have a lot of good young players now, and I’m not sure that they’re 100 percent ready to play here, but if we’re not going to win with a veteran team then we may as well transition sooner rather than later.”

However, bringing those players up earlier than anticipated remains a concern.

“It’s a little bit of a juggling act,” said Rutherford. “You can just see in the few games that Brandon Sutter has played how much better of a player he is than he was a year ago. He’s played some games now in the minors, and then he comes in here with some confidence. Even as good as he’s played, I still wish he could play more in the minors to give him an even stronger position than where he is today.”

Rutherford didn’t suggest that a movement of any kind was imminent, partly due to the difficulty of making trades in November and partly due to the fact that it’s still early in the season. While he said he’d ideally like to wait until the end of the month for any major shake-up, the team’s play over the next few weeks may force his hand.

“We owe it to our fans every year to be a playoff team, and if I feel that we’re just getting into too deep of a hole then I’ll accelerate it,” he said. “If I still think that this team can turn it around, then we’ll keep going in the direction that we’re going.

“I’ve seen enough to where I’m as disappointed as I’ve ever been in a team,” he added. “I still know that there’s enough here to make that turn, but when you watch what we’ve all watched here in the last week, it makes you wonder if it’s going to turn.”"

Hockey confession time. I've been into hockey for a decade now (fan, playing, reffing, scorekeeping, you name it) and for the life of me I still have no idea what waivers are.

Basically, we make him available to every other team for free. They can put in a claim for him over the next 24 hours. If nobody claims him, then he is still our property. We would then have the ability to send him to the minors.

If we call him back up from the minors, he must go through waivers again. But this time, another team can claim him for only half of his salary(we pay the other half).

That's about what I've gathered from hearing "picked such and such up from waivers" but then I would hear things like "...has cleared waivers" and wondered if there was more to it than I initially thought. Thank you very much. So like last week we put Yelle on waivers but then I saw that he had ice time in yesterday's game. I was a bit confused.

Harrison is on a two way contract, so once he clears waivers (no way anyone out there is dumb enough to claim him), we will most definitely assign him to Albany I would think, and we will save $325,000.

^ i'm sure staal is legitimately injured. He is one of the NHL's "iron-men" If he misses tomorrow it will only be the second game he has ever missed in his career.

not to mention he had (has) the second longest active games streak in the nhl.

He may not be producing, but that boy is tough as nails

From SB Nation:

http://www.canescountry.com/2009/11/2/1111125/is-chad-larose-being-shopped

Quote :
"Would the Carolina Hurricanes trade Chad LaRose?

Of course anything is possible, especially for a team in a tailspin like the Hurricanes. A source told me yesterday that scouts from a Western Conference team attended a recent game with the primary intent to evaluate the Carolina forward.

Keep in mind that this is a rumor, it has not been confirmed by anyone on the team.

But it should not surprise anyone that management is almost in crisis mode at this point. They might feel the need to do something to shake things up, and LaRose is a popular component in the locker room. Trading him would send a message and might shake things to the very core.

After scoring a career high 19 goals and 12 assists with a +6 last season, LaRose has yet to score a goal in 13 games this year. He has two assists and is -4. The winger just signed a two year contract worth $3.4 million this past summer, a deal that GM Jim Rutherford might be regretting. "



Are you kidding? I JUST got a LaRose jersey a week and a half ago for my birthday....

I heard an interview with JR while in the car yesterday and while without mentioning him by name, he sounded like he regretted re-signing him over the offseason

I, too, have a LaRose jersey and hope it isn't him. I'm all for us shaking things up, but put the LaRose-Cullen-Whitney back before screwing things up. Trade just about anyone else is fine, but see if that line can get the chemistry back against Toronto. If we lose bad to Toronto, a shakeup is definitely needed. I wish we would've kept Seidenberg and Eaves over getting Ward, but too late now.

if it makes this team better, they can trade everybody on the team i have a jersey for. it ain't shit to strip a jersey and put another name and number on it, or get another one.

i highly doubt we're in the market for frolov, seeing as how i doubt they want our old parts on their young team, and i would hope that we're not willing to give up our future talent.
