Icon23 Carolina offers PTO to Raffi Torres

ugh... just glad the Flames don't play the Canes in preseason.

Aaron Ward ‏@NHL_AaronWard
CAROLINA HURRICANES have extended a PTO offer to UFA Raffi Torres.

Aaron Ward ‏@NHL_AaronWard
While nothing is formally signed yet, expectation is Torres will accept CAR offer of a PTO.

I guess someone needs to take a major suspension this season.

Either Washington or Tampa should sign that Russian guy that was banned from the KHL a couple of weeks ago.

(both the Caps and Bolts play the Canes twice in preseason)

It blows my mind how some GMs are willing to sign players like this over and over again. Would your company hire someone who made a living off of beating the crap out of other people, was violent, attacked others and seemed to never learn his lesson? Then wtf goes through a GMs mind when re-signing a player like this? Frustrating how a repeatedly violent offender like this has a chance to earn millions of dollars yet again.

Common Ron Francis, you're better then this crap.

I respect them for preventing the Oilers win the cup in 2006. That said, this meathead should have been suspended for life. Bad move Carolina.

Perhaps they need a guy to lead the team in cheap-shots and suspensions!

This reminds me of one of my very favorite D Sutter quotes when asked about Torres and his hits.
'He is a second or two late...a lot'

Maybe another team in the division was sniffing around Torres so the Hurricanes quickly jumped in to keep players like Skinner safe by keeping him out of the hands of their opponents.

If I were them, I'd be worried about Torres decapitating Skinner in training camp.

Touché. Seriously though it's just a matter of time until a situation exists on the ice where Torres sees a player in a vulnerable position and those eyes get really, really big and blank and like a possessed man he goes in for the kill shot. He's simply not wired right to play a contact sport as he's got that wild animal predatory instinct.

Maybe it was actually a PFO. T's and F's can look similar depending on the font.
