JAROMEWHO?
Raleigh, NC – Carolina Hurricanes General Manager Hanna Sniper announced today the departure of ‘Canes Captain Jarome Iginla to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward Mike Richards and defender Robyn Regehr.
It what would be described as the unmovable being moved, GM Hanna finally listed his price for what it would take to wrestle Canada’s Olympic hero away from Flair Country. “It’s one of those deals on face value, it just doesn’t make sense but the fact of the matter is… if it made sense, it wasn’t going to happen” said the ‘Canes GM “Face value, we did a lot today to set this franchise up for the future and was something that we had to hold our guns towards and understand it’s market”
For the Anaheim Ducks, it’s a huge price to pay for the elite power forward but with the huge cap relief and incredible organizational depth, the only way forward was a quick one step backwards first.
Major respect to Ravi for being able to close this deal, couldn't have been easy on his part... you have bigger balls then me
