NHL Draft Tonight
The Carolina Hurricanes hold the 12th overall pick in tonight’s NHL Draft on Versus. Once we get a chance to wind down after the draft, I will provide player profiles and give my analysis on the drafted Hurricanes. Let’s hope somebody falls a couple extra spots so the Hurricanes can snatch up a top prospect [...]
TweetHurricanes lock up Defenseman
The Carolina Hurricanes recently resigned defenseman Jay Harrison to a two year deal. The deal is worth $1.4 million over two years and Harrison is expected to be paid $650,000 next season and $750,000 the year after. When the Hurricanes chose to resign Harrison, they are basically saying their goodbyes to Joni Pitkanen unless some [...]
TweetHurricanes Season in Review: Tuomo Ruutu
The Carolina Hurricanes do not have to worry about resigning Tuomo Ruutu. Ruutu proved to be an essential piece to the Hurricanes’ attack yet again this season and he is one of the few skaters under contract for the 2011-2012 season. Ruutu centered the second line for the Hurricanes and had anall four seasons outstanding [...]
TweetHurricanes Season in Review: Jiri Tlusty
The Carolina Hurricanes traded for Jiri Tlusty a year ago and he played on the third line this season. However, Tlusty is very expendable and we may be saying our good-byes. He is extremely low on the Hurricanes priority list because he doesn’t provide much offense. The restricted free agent only recorded 12 points this [...]
TweetHurricanes Season in Review: Cory Stillman
Cory Stillman returned to Carolina to play on the Hurricanes top line alongside Eric Staal and Erik Cole for the second half of the season. Stillman tallied 5 goals and 11 assists with the Hurricanes this season in 21 games. Six of his points were scored on the power play and he finished with a [...]
TweetHurricanes Season in Review: Brandon Sutter
Carolina Hurricanes center Brandon Sutter didn’t have his flashiest season, but his name is still in the mix when we talk about the Canes young crop of talent. He just completed his second full campaign in the NHL. Though Sutter’s production declined by 11 points this season (14G, 15A), he still managed to record a [...]
TweetHurricanes ready to make moves
Head Coach Paul Maurice has quite a few decisions to make this off-season for the Carolina Hurricanes. With a handful of players set to become unrestricted free agents on July 1, it appears unlikely that the Canes can re-sign everyone. But trust me – that’s a good thing. It’s time for the Hurricanes to make [...]
TweetFuture Hurricanes Brewing
The Carolina Hurricanes are waiting patiently for the 2011-2012 season, but at least they know there is life in the farm system. The Canes have a few players who can make an immediate impact on the fourth line and maybe even third line in the NHL should the management decide to let some players test [...]
TweetJeff Skinner continues dominance
Calder Trophy finalist, Jeff Skinner, showed the Carolina Hurricanes that he is not ready to hang up his skates for the season. Last night, Skinner scored two goals for team Canada in its 9-1 rout of team France in the IIHF World Hockey Junior Championships. Behind Skinner, Canada looks to be a serious contender in [...]
TweetCharlotte Checkers Moving On
It’s good to see that one Carolina team can make it to the playoffs. The Charlotte Checkers, Carolina Hurricanes AHL affiliate team, ousted the two-time defending champions Hershey Bears with a 2-1 overtime victory last night. The Checkers won the series 4-2 and will play the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in the second round of the Calder [...]
