The Theory of The Marty Hurney IR Dump


SCP

Recommended Posts

For those who have been around awhile you might remember how, towards the end of his first run here, Marty Hurney became the king of dumping guys into IR when the season began to take a turn for the worse.  I always contended Marty did so as a preemptive excuse for when he faced the media at the end of the season.  This is my opinion only because I am a Hurney Hater so maybe it's just a missed opportunity for me.  But he has played the "Yea but we had 19 guys on IR" card before.  Now I still think we sneak into Foxboro and get a W tomorrow.  However, if we lose the next 3, which Is looking like a strong possibility, do not be surprised if Hurney and RR start playing the IR game.

It's just laughable Hurney is the GM again. The Panthers turn around from where Hurney left this organization to when he walked back in the door to our senile owners open arms says it all.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how that's OK... 

We're kind of a joke of a franchise. SMH

    • @PantherChrisgrow the fug up.  We read you whine and bitch about so much all the time, let someone have their own take on things instead of being a petulant child.
    • Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.
    • You never really know when a team is going to turn a corner and make a deep playoff run.  I say take a swing, this could be like Tillman in 2015
