Canes' summer not off to a good start

The Jake Guentzel contract fell apart as did any trade involving Martin Necas. In addition, when free agency begins Monday at noon, the expectation is that -- soon to be former -- Hurricanes players will come flying off the board, from Nashville to Newark. Why did the Guentzel deal fall apart? What now? Plus a look at the Hurricanes draft and some top prospects with North American Central Scouting's Mark Seidel.

The lightning in the background was a nice addition to the production value Adam! Shout out Mother Nature

You talking Rutger McGroarty with Winnipeg along with Nikolaj Ehlers?

Guentzel for 8 years would've been a mistake at the price point they were planning. For a guy in their 30s, they need to be a 90+ point player for that to make sense

I like Jake but not for 8 years. He would be 35-38 for 3 years of the deal. He will be too old and he has a small frame. He is not Brent Burns! I would rather keep Necas and give him more aying time. He is still on the rise.

I'm with you on Necas. It seems Canes fans are split between Necas or Guentzel, and nobody is on the fence about either. They either think the 8 year deal belongs to Necas or Guentzel is somehow going to become a 100 pt player in his 30s and be our only way to a Stanley Cup
