Rutherford And Canes Avoid Disaster

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Douglas Murray (a defensive version of Kevin Westgarth) was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins today for two second rounders (a huge overpayment).

Then this came out...

The Carolina Hurricanes made a hard pitch for the D Douglas Murray but were outbid by Pittsburgh's Ray Shero. #Tradetracker

Luckily JR didn't go batshit crazy and offer a first for Murray.

Here's to JR for not f*cking up for the first time in his life.

Wow. Murray isn't even all that great anymore.

Also, I totally get being angry at JR because of the defense but the guy has usually been ace when making trades for the last half decade. I don't expect Yandle but I do expect someone serviceable on the back end and some bottom six help when the deadline comes around.
