HURRICANES ARE DISMANTLING: GUERIN GONE, CRAWFORD FIRED

As GM Derek Major walked the halls, he yelled back at everyone listening....

"Chris Pronger, Markus Naslund and Pascal LeClaire are all available, there is nobody untouchable right now!"

This message is on the heel of the firing of Coach Marc Crawford. Replacing Crawford will be Craig MacTavish.

The Calgary Hurricanes are in last place for the first time in nearly 12 seasons. The first casualty was Hurricane TFHL Champion Bill Guerin, who's pricey 5.1 million dollar contract was dealt to the Wheat Kings in exchange for Martin Cibak. Now the axe has fallen on the former TFHL Champion Marc Crawford.

"We got young too fast. I think that is the main casualty for this club right now. Unfortunately when things happen like this, there needs to be a big shake up. This is just the beginning." Said GM Derek Major.

According to the new coach it appears he is looking to find experienced forwards as well as younger defensive minded defenseman. "I think this situation will be tough. This team has a lot of great history behind it and we'll just need to battle back and climb into the post-season race. Nothing is ever out of the question, nor is this situation." Said newly appointed coach Craig
MacTavish.

There you have it folks, the flood gates are open with some of the best players from the last few seasons. Send those offers in. Just because I am shaking up doesn't mean I'll take sub-par offers, I'd expect equal value.

Cheers

Derek
