Injuries, Coaching Search, And The Captain's Future

Injuries

 

- Alexander Semin is currently recovering from wrist surgery. Many assumed that there was an injury plaguing the Russian winger as he struggled with his shot at times last season. In my opinion, he will come back better than ever next summer.

 

- Andrei Loktionov had successful shoulder surgery. That's currently all the info we have on him.

 

Coaching Search

 

The Hurricanes have already interviewed three coaches (no names released) and they plan on interviewing three more. MyNHLTradeRumors believes that Karmanos will go the cheap route in the coaching search. In my opinion that leaves the job open to only four individuals: Kevin Dineen, Ulf Samuelsson, Rod Brind'Amour, or Gary Roberts.

 

Eric Staal's Future

 

- When asked about the future of Eric Staal with the team, Ron Francis replied that it all depends on the teams budget for the upcoming season... take that for what's it worth.

 

That's all I got.

Of those 4, the only setup I like is to get BOTH Dineen and Samuelsson. Since that isn't happening, fug Karmanos. 



We need to buy out a couple bad contracts. Jordan is getting overpaid by at least 2 mil. Semin is aging and, bad wrist last season or no, his production doesn't warrant his contract. I want to keep both guys, but they're KILLING our cap. Eric is making damn near Sid Crosby money...and I love him, but he's no Sid Crosby.


Until we fix those contracts, we're fuged.

Francis said that there is a possibility that they go into the draft without a coach. The latest news was that we have interviewed three coaches and plans to interview three more.

A report came out that Samuelsson was the guy and we were waiting until the Rangers were eliminated out of respect to them to announce the hiring. Since then former Hurricane defenseman and current TSN employee Aaron Ward said that, that report was inaccurate and that we have not narrowed our choice.

A new name has also come up and it's John Stevens, assistant coach for the Kings.

Finally, the most recent news came today from Michael Smith...

@MSmithCanes: .@RonFrancis10 on #Canes coaching search: "The process is moving along, and we’re working hard trying to find the right guy.”

      Legette. Wrist surgery?

      By Icege · Posted

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      Daniel Jeremiah: Panthers prime trade candidate

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
