HURRICANES ACQUIRE 1ST OVERALL PICK

The Hurricanes have sent forward Boyd Gordon to the Reservoir Dogs in
exchange for the 1st overall pick in the upcoming draft.

GM Major didn't hide who he is picking.

"Steve Stamkos will become a Hurricane next week." said GM Major.

"We've been trying to get into the 1st overall spot by swapping our
2nd overall pick but that didn't make sense to ther other team. They
wanted immediate help.

What is unclear is what will happen with the 2nd overall pick the
Hurricanes also own.

"Right now we are targeting another forward we may draft. However, if
there is an offer out there to improve our team immediately, then we
will." said Major.

So....the 2nd overall might be available but I am also keen to hold onto it.
