RALEIGH, NC - Don Waddell, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League's Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has acquired Toronto's first-round selection in the 2020 NHL Draft (protected), Toronto's seventh-round selection in the 2020 NHL Draft and forward Patrick Marleau from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Carolina's sixth-round selection in the 2020 NHL Draft. If Toronto's first-round selection in the 2020 NHL Draft is a top-10 pick, the Hurricanes will instead receive Toronto's first-round selection in the 2021 NHL Draft.

Tell me how to feel as a casual hockey fan. 

1st round pick for a 39 year old player? Is he going to push us over the edge to help?

I may be misreading your post but we didn’t give up a first round pick, we obtained one for taking on Marleau and his contract.

There’s also a chance he gets bought out if he doesn’t want to play with us.

Rumor from Sara Civian

The Canes are trying to move Justin Faulk after contract extension talks didn’t go so well.

The Canes might look to the Capitals unsigned draft pick and impending free agent Chase Priskie to fill Faulk’s spot along with whatever player or pick they receive for Faulk.

I imagine that the first round pick we just obtained from the Marleau trade might be included in a Faulk trade to obtain a higher end player.

Got it, I read it wrong and that makes more sense. 

Yeah just saw on Twitter we are buying out his contract

I think its good to move on. When he's good, he's good. But he's so inconsistent that when he's off, he's terrible.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
