The Hurricanes, with the 5th overall, pick chose Elias Lindholm, an 18 year old Swedish Elite Player. I don't agree with the pick since I see no immediate need for another center. Reading about the situation it looks like if he doesn't make the NHL team this year he will go back to his team in Sweden and not play in the AHL so I don't know what Rutherford was thinking. In the 2nd round (in a bit of a shocker), the Canes traded Jamie McBain and their pick for Andrej Sekera. At least it was a defenseman but I don't think he is the answer or what any fans were hoping for.
Now that Tampa Bay has bought out my favorite hockey player Mr. Vincent Lecavalier I have to wait and find out what new team's shirt I need to buy with Vinny's name on the back!
Already looking forward to hockey season but after today am a little worried about the product the Hurricanes are going to put on the ice.
