Also truly have no idea why I said "second" round when I knew it was the third round (conference finals) that Pittsburgh ousted the 'Canes. In any case what do YOU think about Seidenberg being let to walk and how do you think Ruutu's arbitration wil go and will it affect his play? It sure seemed like the Caps ShaMo didn't really get back to full form late last season whether that was related to his arbitration is really hard to say....Mark Bonatuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04028759195766716450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701918113042958232.post-15734327198775426382009-07-08T12:55:05.174-04:002009-07-08T12:55:05.174-04:00Just to correct some errors in your Carolina Hurri...Just to correct some errors in your Carolina Hurricanes paragraph - the Hurricanes lost to the Penguins in the THIRD round of the playoffs, not the second. They ousted NJ in the first round and Boston in the second. Also, Jokinen re-signed with the Canes for two more years on June 29. Seidenberg is being allowed to walk due to the salary he's demanding. Babchuk gave up his right to arbitration when he fled to Russia two years ago so he will either sign his qualifying offer or he'll flee to Russia again. Ruutu's been qualified and filed for arbitration to protect his rights but his contract will get done.raleighcanesfannoreply@blogger.com
