Analysis:
This trade was made as much for a change of scenery for
the players as anything else. None of the players in this deal seemed
comfortable where they were. McCarthy just wasn't his bruising self
and neither Dimaio or Langdon really fit in with the Rangers. Only
time will tell what happens with this deal, but with the free agent
defections the Hurricanes are probably just glad to get some
bodies.
