Today, speaking with Brind’Amour at the season-ending press conference, general manager Don Waddell explained that the Hurricanes will explore the trade market “pretty heavily” before free agency opens a month from now.
Hmm, we got a D-man we could trade them. Among other things.

Carolina is a smart team, so no. We need to be trying to find dumb teams to trick them into doing dumb things instead of getting bullied by Carolina again

I think O’Connell is supposed to be defenseman wisperer. Last year, Charlie said he wanted to take Attard and turn him into Erik Cernak because tools and size.

do other teams do this still? like did the lightning try to make brayden point into martin st.louis? i don't understand this logic. It's got to be hampering development to think like this.
Let a player be himself but give him help to maximize it.

He’s been around for like 40 years, so probably. He was director of player development in LA during their glory years.

Exactly my thought on this. Maximize what they are instead of making them someone else and getting inevitably pissed when that doesn't work.

Hey, Glen. First time caller, no time listener. Quick Q: who gives a rat's ass if we like Jonesy or not? In what way is that a qualification for this job? People love the hell out of Chase Utley, but nobody's asking him to become the Phillies' Chief HR Officer. I'll hang up and ignore you.

I do too....as a broadcaster. I don't believe he's universally liked.

And let's be real, there's zero chance an Eagles QB is universally liked. That's impossible.

I enjoyed him on the WIP morning show. Definitely wore out his welcome in the broadcast booth. Should not be president of a hockey team.

Having skills and then being in an organization where those talents are allowed to grow are two different things. IMO Attard has good offensive skills and is developing better defensive ones. He needs to be paired with a partner who can cover his deficiencies. The number of defensemen that can excel at both ends of the ice are few and far between. Even Lidstrom needed a strong defensive partner.
