Tanabe in camp?

Luke reports in today's Lord Stanley's Blog post that David Tanabe has been told he's welcome to join the crew at camp. Like most, I'm surprised he hasn't received at least a camp invite. He had a pretty healthy and solid season for a not-so-good team. The Red Wings have invited blueliners Brent Sope...

First-round no ticket to a long Carolina career

You think being the Canes' PA rep is a ticket out of town. Try getting picked in the first round. It's really hit or miss. Only Cam Ward and Eric Staal have remained with the Canes since they were drafted, although David Tanabe is back in the fold after being traded away. The list for the past deca...

Talking Points: Many happy returns

From Talking Points:  The giant career recycling machine that is the Carolina Hurricanes reclaimed another player this summer when the Hurricanes traded for Aaron Ward, who left after the 2006 season and returns for the 2009-10 season.

Matt Karash: What is Brandon Sutter's upside?

Unlike the death pit that is the Carolina Hurricanes 1st round pick when they select a defenseman (Nikos Tselios, Igor Knyazev, David Tanabe, Jack Johnson - at least he turned into Tim Gleason), the Canes did well at center again a couple years back. Everyone knew the Sutter name, but there really was not a boatload of excitement about Brandon Sutter. Many argued that he was really...

Reading the draft tea leaves

The Hurricanes' amateur scouts met this week to go over their draft board, with that event now a mere three weeks away. Based on what Peter Karmanos said Wednesday, in addition to Jim Rutherford's previous comments on the subject, it looks unlikely the Hurricanes will make a run at Tyler Seguin, although I believe with their quiver of picks, it's impossible to rule that out. (You...

Rutherford: proposal 'step in right direction'

While some will say the NHL's general managers didn't take a strong enough stand on eliminating hits to the head this week, the Canes' Jim Rutherford said a proposal offered today is a "step in the right direction." The GMs, after video presentations and much discussion, after going through reams of information, recommended today that a rules change be made to curtail blindside...
