Hedi's body can't keep up with the pace anymore and I hope for his long term health he retires. Wes is still producing, so if he wants to come back more power to him!. According what a poster on LGC said, Grahame is playing in Russia next year. Good thing, too! Hell Mike Leighton! JR & PK have to upgrade this team's defense. This is what killed his this year.

The real change should be with the players. I think the 'Canes need some younger, faster and proven blood. Also, I think JR needs to make better choices on talent. Grahame and Tanabe were two that simply didn't produce. Also, don't get me wrong, I have fond memories of that '06 season, but I think Hedican and Wesley need to hang it up. Too old, too injury prone, and a drag on the salary cap. Laviolette can only work with talent he has at hand. JR needs to pony up. OK, I've probably talked myself into a hole, but that's my thought for the day.

Another "three months of suck" and he'll be out of here. I still think Lavi’s gonna be on a short leash next year. Another “three months of suck” and he’ll be out of here.
