Hurricanes Off Season Thread: When Tlusty doesn't score 40, who will be to blame?

[Guy]

Please let that be a sign.

 

[DaleCooper]

A UFA doesn't bother to show up for his exit meeting? Seems like a pretty safe sign of someone who has no plans of coming back to me.

 

[QuitStaaling]

Trouble at the country club?

we can't afford him anyway.

 

[DaleCooper]

And here's the biggest remark:

Luke DeCock ‏@LukeDeCock 4m

A couple important points from Rutherford/Muller availability: 1. Canes will spend more next year, closer to cap, to add 2-3 defensemen.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

If we let Corvo go to July 1st and then sign him, he counts as an addition, right?

 

[Joe McGrath]

And here's the biggest remark:

1 of those guys is going to be Komisarek after he gets bought out. Maybe he can partner him with redden too.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

1 of those guys is going to be Komisarek after he gets bought out.

And the other will be Ryan Murphy..so that's 2.

 

[DaleCooper]

Some good news and some horrifying speculation:

Chip Alexander ‏@ice_chip 6m

LaRose skipping the exit meeting didn't completely determine his fate, but it's unlikely he will be back with Canes.

Chip Alexander ‏@ice_chip 4m

Just one man's educated guess: Bergeron could be back with Canes and McBain could be traded.

The dude scored 4 points this year. Sounds to me like he knows they don't want him back. Still, it seems like a guy who has been with the org his entire 12 year career would bother showing up for his exit interview.

I'm sure he'll find a gig somewhere.

 

[Guy]

Bringing back Bergeron should really shore up our defense. That's probably the only defensive move we need to make.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

Bringing back Bergeron should really shore up our defense. That's probably the only defensive move we need to make.

As long as we let Sanguinetti and Corvo go, I'm fining with re-signing Bergeron. There needs to be a defenseman with half-decent powerplay skills on the team and I don't think we should be counting on a 20-year old Murphy to be that player.

 

[DaleCooper]

If LaRose, Corvo, and McBain all end up gone, then someone needs to be whipping boy.

 

[Roboturner913]

I have no problem with Bergeron at $1M if it makes the PP go.

Gotta think they would be looking at Komisarek. Leopold, Murray, Scuderi, Ference, at least there are options. Tyson Strachan would be nice on the 3rd pair with Harrison.

Drayson Bowman, step right up

 

[Joe McGrath]

If the plan is to play 7 D every night I'm fine with Beregeron. If he's in the top 6, and then injuries put him in the top 4, hilarity will ensue.

Sounds like a guy who was informed he wasn't coming back already.


I don't think JR mentions that in a presser unless it's a done deal.

 

[Buenos Necas]

Don't buy it. Negotiating tactics by JR, I'll believe it when Char signs his ATO with Falcons.

 

[Ole Gil]

Chad Larose to pittsburgh inevitable?

 

[CanesAvs16]

Drayson Bowman, step right up

This.

 

[StormCast]

Last two times I remember guys not showing up for exit interviews or meetings: Tanabe and Lavi. Both cut loose shortly thereafter.

What no play for the "elite" D Marc Staal? Rangers fans, just too funny.

Think more along the lines of Vandermeer, SOB, or Alberts.

Oh good, 3 more Jay Harrison's.

 

[What the Faulk]

Speaking of Marc, he may play in the first round series. Will be interesting to see how rusty he is, if at all.

 

[StormCast]

Yep, the bargain bin of D's.

If they want someone better, they'll need to move Pitkanen, imo. If Murphy is penciled in, it's pretty likely that's what has to happen.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Sounds like a guy who was informed he wasn't coming back already.

This. LaRose knows he didn't have a good year, knows Muller doesn't put the same trust in him (warrented or not) as Lavi and Maurice did and knows he's too expensive to keep around when JRs doing a cost cutting measure to justify his other ridiculous contracts.

Some other team will sign him.

What i've read he is still blurry in the eye, how can he possibly play?
