CANES OFFENCE "HEATS" UP
Carolina
With the offseason continuing to progress, the Carolina Hurricanes made a splash by acquiring one of the league top young forwards in Dany Heatley. The Canes sent several young players including the highly touted offensive defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo, forward Brad Boyes and the newly acquired Columbus first round draft choice, which will be 5th overall in this years draft.
In Heatley, the team has acquired a bonafide top line winger who could easily compliment the smallish sniper Brian Gionta on the club's top line. Heatley had stated his wishes to leave Atlanta after another tough year and the Canes management felt more than happy to oblige his wishes.
"Dany is one of the leagues most noticeable players," said Joel Quenneville, head coach of the Carolina Hurricanes who was noticeable excited about the teams new acquisition. "I think Dany had too much pressure on him to do everything there. I think the way Atlanta would win was if he scored, they would lose if he did not. Here, he is part of the puzzle and we do not expect him to win games by himself."
Dany had mentioned he would hold a press conference about his trade but was not able to be reached for any additional comments.
The Canes, on the other hand, have been rumoured to be in the process of acquiring up to three other players in their quest for a solid playoff run. The likelihood that the Canes upgrade their top line center should be up front and center, pardon the pun. The Canes rely heavily on two centers who are both better suited as number 2 guys. Look for the Canes to find that third piece of the top line.
