Hey James,
This is Mark Jones, the Carolina Hurricanes Featured Columnist. I’m going to be writing an article this week discussing possible players that from the Hurricanes that could be traded in the next couple months, as well as other players from other teams that would fit in well in Carolina. I looked through the NHL.com statistic pages for players that fit several characteristics, including: (1) at or below age 25, (2) low penalty minutes, (3) a very good +/- rating of +7 or better, and (4) a good scoring touch, but not so good that the player would be too hard for a weak team like the Canes to acquire. I noticed that Wojtek Wolski from the Avs fit these requirements nicely, but since he is a lesser player on a team I don’t cover well, I thought perhaps I could get a better opinion of Wolski’s playing style and your feelings on him from you. Also, if you come up with another player on the Avalanche that you think I might also be interested in looking into, that would be great! If you could help with this, thanks!
