The Carolina Hurricanes are desperate to make changes, but GM Jim Rutherford is finding it difficult. While there was a rumor the 'Canes are willing to move Ray Whitney, he has a no-move clause. Sources say Carolina has been offering defenseman Joe Corvo to teams trying to improve their power play.

Out with the old, and easily broken - probably too late on both counts.

Might get something for Joe, nothing for Whitney now but who was decent back in the day

The guy sucked when he played for the AHL (Kings) team here in Manchester. I couldn't believe when I saw him in the Canes line up against the Bruins last year.

Joe Corvo's decent...but he won't turn around 12 losses.

This maybe what they're talking about in Chicago. Rumor has it the hawks are talking to the canes about Campbell. Heard cash or prospects maybe included.

Joe Corvo for Andrew Ference + a draft pick?

Yeah makes sense for Hawks as they position to sign all their RFA's next year

The Hawks probably want to shed salary, but they have their own PP issues. They are hardly going to trade away Campbell and not get a good puck mover back. They would, if anything, like to add a puck mover to improve their PP and would probably trade away a forward like Buff to do it. There has been talk about them making a move like that with Toronto.

Bottom line: Rutherford was an absolute idiot to let both Seidenberg and Babchuk go. Now he has no PP and only himself to blame.

What? Joe Corvo makes Andrew Ference look like Larry Robinson.

Not worth the added salary. Not sure Boston could spare the extra 1.2M, even pro-rated.

Only real advantage to trading for him would be that his contract is up at years end.

With Ward Stall and Cole out they might as well just tank the season and make a play for the first pick

Cole has been back in the lineup since Nov 1 and the Canes have signed Legace. They cannot afford to obviously tank and alienate their fanbase.

I hope not...this guy is not the problem. All the rumors of him being a liability defensively have been unfounded or he fixed once her got to Carolina.
