Confirmed with Link: Michal Jordan signed to 1 yr. 1-way deal w/Hurricanes - $625,000

Nothing is stopping them from sending Jordan down, at risk of waivers, if that's what they want to do.

The difference between Jordan playing a partial season in the AHL on a 2-way vs a 1-way is a few hundred grand at most (assuming he clears waivers, otherwise the cost is that we lose him). If they're not willing to stake that kind of money on developing prospects and winning games, 7th defensemen are the least of our worries.

I mean, we have Francis in the media right now entertaining the possibility of paying Semin $14 million to play for someone else.

The part about Semin? It was in today's N&O.

Asked about plans for Semin, Francis said, "It's too early to say. We're looking at all the options. Is it best to keep him here or should we do something else? At the right time we'll do what's best for our organization. "

So basketball, right?

Unless he has a Harris Teeter sub named after him, he is expendable.

We need to re-acquire Wade Brookbank and Ryan Bayda no matter the costs.

I have a feeling Bellemore's been getting some bad advice from his agent.





His agent appears to believe Bellemore is something more than a #6/7 defenseman. And if he's got Bellemore believing that as well, I don't blame Francis for letting him walk.

Bellemore is going to get a quick dose of reality in July if that's what he thinks.

Unless there's a team desperate to sign marginal players at inflated value that buys the hype and decides to take a flier on him.

That means... Bellemore to Florida (E5).

bellemore has third tier european league second-pairing defenseman written all over him

he should be incredibly grateful that plymouth drafted him and thus the hurricanes have felt obligated to pointlessly spend almost a decade trying to turn him into an nhl player
