The reason why it doesn't really matter if we get LA's first this year or next.

That's what he looks like without his hockey gear? I think Skinner fangirls just found their new "bae"

We may not have the best prospect. But we have the best looking!

Could that be the best smile on a Cane since Chad left our lineup?

He looks like he should be in a frat party movie.

I don't know that it doesn't matter. I'd much prefer LA's pick this year in a particularly strong draft, versus one year later where it has the possibility to be later in the first round in a weaker draft. It's just the annoyance of setting the team back one year with one first round draft pick. Stocking the prospect cupboard needs to be done now, not later. IMO.

We owned this deal. Mckeown and a non playoff pick in this draft for sekera would've been massive overpayment by LA. It's overpayment as it is. We can't actually complain that we didn't get this years pick.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Glad to see that McKeown got his ELC, and with fangirling to boot!

I wonder if he likes Chipotle?

Well, in any case, we own 3 firsts in the next 2 years. If we want to make a move, we've got an extra to do it with.

Not one near me

well at least you have cookout, in n out burger and bojangles, three things i'd kill for up here.

 

[bluedevil58*]

I really like this signing.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I really like this signing. Does anybody know anything about this guy? Is he big? Can he hit?

Fixed it for you. I'm a bit disappointed you left out the bolded. I've come to not only expect it, but look forward to it.

The Hurricanes should do their own version of the Bachelor. Would be a great publicity stunt. Roland shall be the first Caniac Bachelor on the show.

He's not big, nor does he hit. He's turned into a very good positional defender, though. Good gap control, good positioning, and good stick that makes it tough to beat him 1-on-1.

He's also a good skater and can make crisp, on the tape outlet passes. He's got a good shot from the point, but his offensive creativity hasn't developed as much as I would have liked.

If he makes the NHL, it'll be as a strong positional defender who can be an asset in transition, but likely won't be a big point producer.

^ I'm sorry, my comment was a joke in reference to some of BD58s previous posts, but that said, I do appreciate the insight you posted as it's very helpful. I hate to do this, but if you had to pick a guy that his style is similar to, who would it be? Would it be like a less offensive version of Paul Martin? for instance?
