They don't need a major shake-up, they need a goalie. Seriously that's a good team, just get a goalie.

 

[Captain Mountain]

We kinda have to know who's making those decisions for them before we can guess targets. Different GMs value players differently.

Any bad contracts you can dump for Lucic?

 

[Bazeek]

The Wild have a gently used Marcus Foligno that we could be tempted to part with.

 

[Reaper45]

Kyle Clifford or Andy Andreoff are all yours.

 

[IPreferPi]

We've got a Zac Rinaldo and maybe a Lawson Crouse available.

Scott Darling.

Honest question what exactly do you think it would take to get Crouse?

 

[GoldiFox]

I've listened to Dundon talk about the team at length and I'd guess he means "mental toughness" than rather than physicality. He is referencing the Canes abysmal record in Late January and Early February when they were finally in a Wildcard spot. Their 6 game losing streak where the effort was pitiful.

2nd + B Prospect

 

[oXo Cube]

This new owner is sending out a lot of bad vibes.

He said they needed to get bigger and stronger when talking about toughness.

If the Canes get Lucic, that team will be dead to me.

They have said they want to get bigger and stronger on the wings. That is true. I am talking about this specific quote. Hence the part about:

"either the players have to be tougher or you bring in tougher players."

Would be hard for the current group to add inches and strength given their makeup. But it makes total sense that this group could build some mental fortitude with the right changes. Especially if their comments, questions, and concerns are addressed by Dundon personally during the Exit interviews.

 

[EDMOILERS9729]

We can offer up a very tough Lucic or Russel. Willing to take Krueger back

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Who could they target?

what year is this

 

[Nico the Draft Riser]

Whats wrong, Justin Williams' couldnt pick on enough smaller guys this year?

What a tough guy hes always been lol

 

[De Montreal]

Michael McCarron could probably be had for cheap. Nice reclamation project, low risk medium reward

 

[AmericanDream]

yep, need to go in the opposite direction of every other successful team - makes sense!!!

toughness and truculence was 4-5 years ago - skill and speed wins now - stick with your youthful core, get better goaltending and watch your team back in the playoffs - is someone just making shit up here????

 

[MattMartin]

Well if they get 2 or 3 in the lotto they can get Tkachuk.

 

[David Suzuki]

Andrew Shaw welcome to the Hurricanes!

 

[north49er]

Are you saying "tough" as in tough or stupid tough as in Ryan Reaves?

 

[migi]

Connor Murphy for Justin Faulk.

There is your toughness.
