RE: Bowman gets two-year deal from Canes
the ignorance on these forums is astounding. FAs come here, they do have money, but the Canes don't want the wrong personality to show up. It's not about bargain hunting, it's not about getting the highest paid guy to show up, it's about finding the right group of people who gel together, play well as a team and who can make it happen on and off the ice. Bunch of tools commenting from their Monday Morning Armchairs is all I see wrong with Raleigh.
