Paul Maurice gets an extension


Recommended Posts

Source: Rotoworld per TSN.ca

The Hurricanes have signed head coach Paul Maurice to a three-year contract extension.

"When Paul came in, he did a really good job of bringing the coaching staff together," general manager Jim Rutherford said. "They had good chemistry, and the delegation of certain areas where everybody felt they had an important role in the staff worked well." Ron Francis will serve as the team's associate head coach and director of player personnel. Tom Barrasso will work as the Carolina's assistant coach and will continue to help out the goaltenders. Tom Rowe and Kevin McCarthy were retained as the club's other assistant coaches.

Rutherford also said the team benefited from having Francis available to work with players on a daily basis, specifically mentioning star forward Eric Staal. But he didn't want to pull Francis away from his work developing young players in the organization, adding that Francis occasionally won't be on the bench because of other job responsibilities.

Looks like his player development job is going to take some bench time away, which is a pretty good Idea. I think it will help out some of the younger Center's we have get up to the Pro team quicker and with a more polished skill set.

This was a no brainer. I just hope to hear the LaRose, Ruutu and Jokinen are locked up soon. And Id love to see a big extenstion for Cam Ward.

Jokinen and Ruutu aren't really situations they have to handle right away since they are restricted free agents (Restricted free agents cannot leave to play for other teams unless they are traded), but LaRose needs to be the first player signed to an extension since he is an unrestriced free agent. Then they need to decide if they want to sign Ryan Bayda and Eric Cole to contract extensions. After those situations are taken care of they will sign Ruutu and Jokinen to their contract extensions. After that is done they will decide if Seidenberg and Babchuk (which are both restricted free agents) are worth the money. If they are, then they will give them a contract extension, if they are not then they will be released. Personally I would like to see Seidenberg back because he has experience and actually plays on the national team for Germany, which means he must be pretty darn good. Babchuk I am not sure about it depends if he actually remembers how to play defense during the off-season. After all the contract situations are taken care of they will build through the draft, and either sign their draft picks or let them walk. Some will be assigned to the Hurricanes roster, and some will be assigned to the AHL affiliate (Albany River Rats). When all the draftees and their situations are taken care of, the Hurricanes organization can just pick up some of the left over unrestricted free agents out their, with the money they have left (which shouldn't be much) and sign those who they believe can make a contribution to the team. Then it will almost be time to start the next hocket season.

That is pretty much how the off-season should go.

I was more surprised than most by this, because I thought they would give over the team to Francis. With that said, I think that Maurice earned at least another year after the way he turned this team around, when very few thought he would do anything other than keep the seat warm for Francis.

    • I didn't say much bigger. Watch the highlights I linked. Bryce doesn't have the arm strength and/or talent to make the vast majority of the throws Mac made in that video. 
    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
