Anyone think Ryan Murphy will make the jump this yr?

I don't thinks so, I think it will take him one more year.

Chip Alexander tweeted that Shane Doan's agent said that the Hurricanes are one of the teams in the mix to sign SHANE DOAN!!!

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Shane Doan stated that he will start taking offers from teams tomorrow. Expect the Hurricanes to throw an offer Doan's way.

Apparently Shane Doan has stated that he wants to play in the Western Conference.

Bummer for the Canes.

I'm starting to think maybe we should just see how this team performs this year and wait for a little better FA class next year. I'd hate to try and make a move in a trade or sign someone and blow all of our assets/prospects (though we do have to make it to the cap floor). Unless of course JR is made/or makes "an offer you can't refuse".

Does Semin just not want to play in the NHL anymore, or does nobody really want him? Rumor is, he is being pursued by the KHL.

Nash, Doan, Semin - just get at least 1 JR.

There afraid of him because he's Russian...apparently when a Russian accepts a contract they spend one season on your team, get pissed off and go the KHL.

According to a few tweets we are in the Alexander Semin and AK sweepstakes.

Yes, those are two Russians lol

J.R. is going to hate to do it, but we need these guys right now.
