Zach Boychuk Recalled From Albany

The Carolina Hurricanes just announced the recall of forward Zack Boychuk from the Albany River Rats. Boychuk will take Jiri Tlusty's spot, who was reassigned to Albany yesterday.
Chip Alexander was reporting from the morning skate in Buffalo that Tuomo Ruutu was skating with Brandon Sutter and Patrick Dwyer, but apparently, Ruutu is still not ready to go.
The team's 1st round draft pick in 2008 has 12 goals and 15 assists for the Rats so far this season. He has a single assist in nine previous games for the Hurricanes.
I'll have the game preview up early this afternoon.

I deleted the Fan post I put up since this got posted. Anyone want to speculate on a Whitney trade???
Or is it something much more mundane like Cole or Ruutu or Rosey (IR) not being able to go tonight?
5 seconds left.
Do you believe in miracles?
YES!!
I’d be willing to bet JR got calls from Washington, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Philly, Atlanta, Ottawa, Boston, and Montreal today. Pretty much every team in the East freaking out that the NJ Devils just became the favorite Cup contender with the addition of Kovalchuk.
I’d guess Boston, Montreal, and Atlanta are most desperate to make deals and that JR is telling them the sooner the better. My best guess would be Whitney to Boston or Montreal for their first rounder.
Boston has 2 first rounders. I can’t imagine them parting with the Toronto pick for a rental…
ESPN put out a headline that with the Kovy deal done, Rutherford takes center stage.

At this point in time I’m not letting things like reason or the truth get in the way of speculation. We’re 26 days from the deadline. The silly season has begun!

Do you believe in miracles?
YES!!
So it’s acceptable for all of us to turn into “Malkin to the Kings” clones?

there’s ignoring reason and truth and then there is ass-hated shenaniganizing. The line, though thin, does exist.
Is shenaniganizing a word? Becuase if it is, I am using it on a fairly regular basis from now on.
And, just out of curiosity, where does Eklund fall on that spectrum?
"This guy is as meat and potatoes as there is of a man."

ass-hated shenaniganizing. No doubt. And of course shenaniganizing is a word. It’s been used in three consecutive posts.
5 seconds left.
Do you believe in miracles?
YES!!
It is in my strange world.
as far as where Ek, he falls (hopefully on his keys) somewhere on the far side ass hated shenaniganizing , near the border of WTFdudeputdownthepipe.
LOL-we need to start categorizing trade rumors on this scale.

thats it, I know folks have the photoshop skills to put this into a beauty of a graphic for us. The challenge has been officially unofficially issued.

But we are not REALLY that far from the deadline due to the trade freeze which takes place over the Olympic Break…
And so much for our myth about the Hurricanes being Awesome during Olympic seasons….

They won’t trade away TO’s first rounder. However their first rounder is still likely a 5-20th overall pick and they are probably more likely to deal it because they have TO’s.
I could have sworn their GM said they wouldn’t even entertain offers for the first round pick. Now obviously that could change, but all reports I’ve read say they aren’t giving that up.

Don’t have the source, but I am positive he was quoted as saying the Toronto pick was not available.
But…that’s just GM talk. :-D
It was on TSN a few days ago that Chiarelli wasn’t willing to part with the TO pick.

This time of year GM’s could have a big ploppy pile of steamy poo on top of their heads and they would look right at you and say: “No.. I don’t have a big ploppy pile of steamy poo on my head… wouldn’t even know what one looks like….”

Chip with comments from Mo after practice:

Boychuk is on the way. Peters may play Saturday, Maurice says
Ruutu return could be next week. Boychuk on Sutter line with Dwyer, Maurice says.

Short version: censored censored kid censored busting my back sitting on a censored censored stool for all this time….grumble grumble.
Long version: probably the way Leights felt when we immediately signed Manny and let him start when Cam was injured the first time.

Sounds right. Maybe Mo was just saying that about Peters too. He always says that about all back-to-backs.

well… you see… “he HAS to play in the first game if he is going to play in the second game…”
That was the quote of the season so far….
by Mateos_Canes_Lamp on Feb 5, 2010 2:19 PM EST up reply actions
I’m hoping it means Cam’s injury is very short-term and they want to get Peters in while they can.

So, grab your salt but just found Ecklund’s twitter account:
there is another team interested in Wallin
Working on: Wallin held up for Kovy? Lecavalier, Whitney, Pens/Leafs, Sens, Flyers, and what next for Alberta teams. should be done around 1

That should be 2 separate tweets from Ecklund above. maybe they should be on the Wallin thread. This is a crazy time in the Caniac Nation now that we have the blog and twitter……better than RedBull.

I think hipcheck suggested this a while back but maybe we need to set up a whole trade speculation/rumors thread so that all this stuff is contained? It would definitely be easier to track stuff that way.
Do I need to put in a formal request to management?

Very true. Can we blame Chip for that too? Or is this one on the team for not giving us very many good things to talk about? Or is it just on us-the crazy loons who have serious ADD issues?

Y’know what’s bugging me? (other than not knowing which thread to post this on)
They need to take the photo where Nikki gets shaved for St Baldrich down off the front page of the Canes site. Makes me feel weird in a bad way.

yes – I went to the site a few minutes ago and said that to RFink. RFink says “Wonder if he would still come back to do it” I said “Knowing Nikki, if there was any way possible to do it, he would!”
I agree. He probably would. He’s that kind of guy.

waiting on the other shoe to drop
The suspense is killing me. Will they get this Wallin deal done? Has Whitney played his last game as a Cane and we don’t even know it yet? HOw many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? Does Tripp already know the answer to that quetsion?
Tootsie pop? Maybe not. But you can never rule anything out with the Tripper.

“Having played the position, I can tell you that it’s difficult to get an accurate count of the number of licks it takes. I can tell you this, John, when it comes to trying to get a tootsie pop into Cam’s mouth, they should go glove side high.”
That is so gross yet so funny.

remember this joke
because if someone laughs we are going to look back on this joke…….did I mention this joke had dinner with Tripp last night?
One…Two….Three…..crack…Three licks to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop.
Are we all just nuts or is something BIG happening today?
I am jonesing for a move in a Babchukian kind of way.

Some random comments from me joining the discussion late.
Cam. :-(
Although I’d love to see Justin Peters get a chance in net, that would be awesome.
WTF is wrong with Chad LaRose? His previous injury was LBI, so this is a different one. Any intelligence at all? Rumor? Innuendo? Hunch?
Is Erik Cole ever coming back?
And while the revolving door is in motion, please DO NOT use this an an excuse to rush my Finn back into the lineup! Please! Kthx.

Kolvachuk deal
Deb Placey (my favorite host, by far, of NHL Live) just tweeted this (Lou Lamoreilla was their guest today).
I’ll get around to hearing this myself within the next 24 hours (DVR’ing the NHL Network feed), but I’m not streaming it live.
Anyone listen to Lou and can shed any light on details of the deal? Timing issue is intriguing.
Ok
So it seems that everyone is very anxious. I hate to see our guys go, but I ’m ready to get this party started.
Asked about Ruutu, he says he feels good and is getting stronger. Hopes he’s back in next week for the home stretch. Beginning to do some battling drills and once he passes that, he’ll be back in the lineup.
But…my question is who will now perform the absolute final test of delivering the body check against the glass that Nic Wallin traditionally performs to see if an injured player is gameworthy?
Just found From Eklund
Those that are squeemish should not read……On the Sharks…
The Sharks are shopping for playoff experience which makes sense. They need to bring some players who have won a Cup into the locker room…that’s why Kubina was an option. By the way, since I have it on good authority that a package of Whitney and Gleason almost went to LA wouldn’t this be the perfect fit for San Jose? I imagine Clowe would be among those who would go back. END
I would become an ex card carrying caniac if Gleason is dealt, with or without my card being revoked by Caniac Jack. But alas, it is Eklund…
I do my best Bob McKenzie — that’s is bogus and has no merit. Amateur hour.
by Cory Lavalette on Feb 5, 2010 2:09 PM EST up reply actions
He probably has some script that runs on the latest headlines, grabs names mentioned most often, and pairs that with a randomly chosen team. Presto, instant “good authority”.
we need a quck poll.
If Rutherford deals Gleason will you ever buy another Canes ticket?
get 95% responding : Hell No!!
Might be added insurance in case JR’s getting any crazy ideas in Buffalo.

Gleason would be traded about the time the Hurricanes moved to Alaska
Gleason would be traded just as soon as soon as the Hurricanes moved to Alaska and renamed themselves the Alaska Snow Bunnies. Not a chance to that rumor.
This is hilarious: from today’s Puck Daddy Puck Headlines, scroll down to the pic of the Caps goalie and read the text below. LOL!
Well, everyone says that goaltending is one of the Caps’ weaknesses and need upgrading. Perhaps they’re resorting to subliminal messages.

there is def. something holding it up, whats funny is that they’ve leak out this info anyway without it being a done deal
Staal + Jussi = GOAL
Initial leak could have been from the SJ side…or even Wallin’s agent.
Could be another GM is calling to answer Nic’s desire to only sign a one-year extension instead of a two-year extension, as demanded by SJ.
My guess is Wallin will ultimately be traded
I think Wallin and his agent are playing hardball and that whether it is San Jose or some other team, ultimately Wallin will be a big raise for one year and will waive his NTC; and that the Hurricanes will get a 2nd round draft choice for him. Nothing is ever as it appears in the NHL as it relates to trade negotiations.
