epic Mo-Meter

to be fair though if you had told me in November we'd be 9 points out of 7th with 2 games in hand I would have laughed at you.

3/2/2010 11:16:22 PM

goddammit

they are going to go on a streak to get us all really sucked back in

and then crush us

classic nc state shit, gentlemen.

Lebrun: From source in Canes front office: doubtful Ray Whitney gets dealt today. We'll see. Lots of posturing

3/3/2010 9:46:47 AM

butthole puckered

3/3/2010 9:56:57 AM

Washington interested in Ray Whitney

3/3/2010 10:22:55 AM

Whitney for Carlson + whatever

MAKE IT SO

3/3/2010 10:25:54 AM

think of how NASTY the Caps powerplay would be!

3/3/2010 10:30:06 AM

Whitney in DC =

3/3/2010 10:31:01 AM

yeah its gross as hell

but lets get what we can get

"Contrary to an early report on Wednesday morning, the Bruins are still trying to work out a deal with the Carolina Hurricanes to bring Ray Whitney to Boston, according to a source. The hang-up still seems to be Whitney's desire for an extension with any team that acquires him. The 37-year-old (who will be 38 by the end of the playoffs) has reportedly been looking for a two- or three-year extension. The Bruins could be trying to negotiate a package for Whitney and defenseman Joe Corvo."

3/3/2010 10:40:54 AM

a Whitney/Corvo combo should fetch a high return. and if that return is Wheeler, I might piss myself.

3/3/2010 10:42:14 AM

Ray, cut out this wanting an extension shit.

3/3/2010 10:43:35 AM

from dumbass Chip: Canes could be close to deal on Aaron Ward. Keep an eye on Anaheim. other deals in the works, apparently.

3/3/2010 10:48:19 AM

local guys outside of canada/not named stan fischler should stay out of this

3/3/2010 10:50:00 AM

BRING US BRETT HEDICAN

3/3/2010 10:51:34 AM

Bret?

3/3/2010 10:51:52 AM

Gotta be Whitney lol

3/3/2010 10:57:44 AM

well, the Bruins picked up a (former) Cane by getting Crunchy from Florida. Maybe they still have $$ to get the Wizard

3/3/2010 11:35:26 AM

GRITTY VETERAN Ward to Anaheim for fourth-rounder and goalie Justin Pogge.

3/3/2010 11:42:36 AM

what's the "whitney to the caps" rumor? for whom exactly?

3/3/2010 11:43:35 AM

Aaron is a lot like Wallin. Never did anything amazing, but he was very solid for a long time. It is too bad his come back tour sucked ass so badly. GRITTY VETERAN AWAY!!!!!!

3/3/2010 11:43:40 AM

Did not expect that much of a return for the GRITTY VETERAN but i'll take it.

3/3/2010 11:43:41 AM

this boudreau/green/caveman commercial is weird

3/3/2010 11:44:11 AM

who the FUCK is Pogge anyway? I checked his hockeysfuture page, but I know relatively nothing

3/3/2010 11:44:33 AM

pogge isn't bad...was once supposed to be THE CHOSEN ONE in toronto

I wouldn't call a 4th-rounder much.

3/3/2010 11:46:05 AM

I seem to remember Toronto was upset with him last year when he couldn't steal games from them playing behind their talent laden lineup and shipped him off to Anaheim.

Maybe a decent backup and could develop into more over time.

^ Considering most of us would have been happy with a bag of practice pucks and/or a couple of passes to Disneyland then yes I consider that much.

why would the canes even . . . . ohhhhhh

if pogge shows up and starts all his sentences with "you know, as a goalie" i would say tripp needs to be ever so vigilant

Updated current 2010 draft status:

Round 1, Pick 3
Round 2, Pick 3
Round 2, Pick 20
Round 2, Pick 21
Round 3, Pick 3
Round 4, Pick 14
Round 5, Pick 19
Round 6, Pick 3
Round 7, Pick 3

3/3/2010 11:48:21 AM

in fact, the leafs were so high on pogge

that they kept him instead of rask when they offered a prospect for raycroft

and now i look like i'm parroting pierre instead of just being a goalie nerd

here's some 4th rounders taken in the last 15 yrs:
Sami Kapanen
Marc Savard
Michael Handzus
Joe Corvo
Ryan Malone
Jan Hejda
Nic Wallin
Ryan Callahan

After the top 3-5 players, the NHL draft is often a crapshoot

3/3/2010 11:57:47 AM

^that's a handful of players over the last 15 years.

3/3/2010 12:00:13 PM

PUMPED AS SHIT ABOUT THIS

3/3/2010 12:03:44 PM

kings ransom for aaron ward

3/3/2010 12:09:10 PM

^^^ Fine, I'll add more:

Stefan Liv
Lubomir Visnovsky
Michel Ouellet
Brian McGrattan
Shawn Horcoff
Alex Ponikarovsky
Josef Vasicek
Adam Mair

Keep in mind that there are only ~400 fourth round picks in the past fifteen years, and just glancing quickly we've found almost 20 who are solid NHL contributers. That's not far from the percentage you'll find with late second rounders.

3/3/2010 12:12:16 PM

from Dreger: Canes are working on moving at least one more player. With Ward deal and another salary expected to go, it's likely Ray Whitney stays in Car

3/3/2010 12:13:46 PM

what's the point of keeping Whitney now? is he planning to stay with the Canes after this year?

3/3/2010 12:16:33 PM

someone explain to me why we want Whitney gone so bad?

is it his age added to the fact that he wants a contract extension and his value will probably never be this high again?

he's one of my favorite players so I'd be sad to see him go, but if those are the reasons then I completely understand

3/3/2010 12:18:07 PM

^^ There's no reason to think he won't, especially since he's added the provision to his NTC-waive requirements that makes him close to untradeable.

^ He's the best UFA winger on the market. We're not making the playoffs, so why not get some value? The whole contract extension thing has thrown a giant wrench in the process, because he's a perfect candidate for a standard rental.

3/3/2010 12:19:15 PM

Scott Walker has left the ice at practice, and the rumor is he's being moved.

3/3/2010 12:22:30 PM

plz to NSH. I would love to be able to pull for the preds and walker in the playoffs
