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

[geehaad]

They're one step above getting drunk and arguing sports at a bar.

...which is a perfect segue to discussing the comments section of that page.

But we shall refrain.

Never going to happen for several reasons, but I'm curious if the value is there. I could see us having to add a little bit.


Seth Jones


Jordan Staal

They'd get a top line center, we'd get a potential #1 D. They get someone with a guaranteed contract for 10 years, we'd get someone with 3 cost-controlled years. It'd open up a big old hole in our top 6 and it'd probably piss off our captain and 99% of the FB page. Just curious.

this wouldn't help at all for a number of reasons and like you say, it's never going to happen. there is nothing, no offer, no circumstance where anyone named staal will be leaving this team. anyone else is fair game.

I really don't know where to begin. I'm sick and tired of losing. Looking at what we currently have and we all know it's likely to know change. Here is what I foresee happening>

1. Our bottom 6 will not be able to score. relying on Dalpe, Bowman, Nash, Terry, and Boychuck to score.... We're in big trouble people.

2. Our top 6 will be shut down.

3. Our backup goalie will not be able to win us any games.

4. More injuries will happen due to us facing bigger and more physical teams.

5. Us all being bitter come December.

I just don't see it happening. The worst part is that we lack the cap room to do any reasonable signings. I can almost gauruntee it;s going to be another one of those JR experiment/bargain type of deals that almost never work out.

At this point, I am all for buying out/putting our bottom 6 on waivers with the exception of Dwyer and then going on to sign big players that can hit and try to establish a fore check. I just think we're in big trouble guys. I am not feeling very good about this team.....

i think that there are options but feel that they are content. i have to believe that upper management is happy with jr and what he has done and is doing otherwise they would be more proactive/involved than what they seem. one can't expect alot of change or for jr to operate much differently if the owners are satisfied with the results that the team has produced. they have drafted high and made some minor moves. last season was the injury bug and the fact that muller didn't have a training camp. we'll see what happens this year. it is what it is regardless of explainations or excuses. it may be a sport, entertainment, a hobby to fans but to them it's business. if they felt they could make more money they would do everything they possibly could i assume. anyhow, from reading most boards, every fan base is mostly dissatisfied. and that changes week to week.

One thing to remember is that we were pretty good last year till the injuries started piling up. Easy to not remember that, and only remember how we were when we were bad.

btw: anyone annoyed by the ace hardware ads on this site? lol

Yes. Trying to avoid rolling over them.

The center ice stripe no longer has the warning-flag pattern.

It's now a white stripe bordered by red.

Surely someone should be fired

Dude...someone in the new owner group must hate hate hate the flags.

Pics or it didn't happen.

[garnetpalmetto]

That just looks awful. I liked the warning flags for making our red line unique. So now not only will we have bad ice it's also generic. Donnie Mac is probably rolling over in his grave.

 

[tomdundo]

That's an atrocity. I demand that it be fixed...we should all start boycotting games until the warning flag pattern is restored.

 

[tarheelhockey]

That just looks awful.

I agree. It falls under the category of "fixing what ain't broke".

 

[Joe McGrath]

So can we officially add "lack of warning flags" to the blame poll?

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

I think it fits well with the theme of the new home jerseys. Having said that, I think the theme sucks. They went for a clean look and ended up with a bland one.

I wouldn't hate the red line if it wasn't another move away from the flags. That's our signature and we're destroying it.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Jared re-signed. Plan the parade.

 

[Novacane]

To be honest, I didn't even know it was a warning flag until now. So, yeah....

But seriously. It's something I've never noticed. Not something that shows up in the stands based on the angle that I'm seated and was impossible to identify on the ****** tv I took to school this year.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Comparison image, for the sake of those who never noticed and/or had their fan privileges revoked.

 

[geehaad]

I can't believe no one mentioned the new logo at center ice, too. Kinda cool...almost like an eye or something.

I think the logo needs to be reduced in size by about 15%. Should probably make it so that its a little higher to, not centered.

Looks like a toilet bowl. Dislike.

It's a flushing toilet bowl. We flush away the competition cause we're so good

******* Plus for google chrome makes the ads go away (unless you are on a tablet or iPhone).

well I guess the recommendation is blocked...sorry, didn't realize.
