UNC Basketball star Armando Bacot

Financial capital financial.com. This is the gold shell came here coming up in about 20 minutes somebody plays basketball North Carolina. I don't nose going on but they're having a little approximate agree with me will all be surprised it might be Armando Baker. It might be RJ Davis.

It might be Caleb. Love, it might be leaky black eye.

I really don't. But my people just I honestly do not know but somebody from UNC will just not 20 minutes on we heard Brent Burns in the return here for our number three burns the biggest of Carolinas additions on the first day of NHL free agency. Even though he was not a free agent signing Brent Burns, Max Pat you ready Andre caccia Cora La Follette he's been around he was not added as a free agent, but we have his phone number.

So let's talk hurricanes. North State Journal hurricanes beat reporter and columnist Sir how are you were almost ready to get back to work.

We got like another one month and 1/2 well I gave you a little more time looking like at all.

All happened pretty quickly to does it does even though he was pushed a little bit later this year with free agency. Starting about two weeks later, based on the calendar of the season starts and we heard Brent Burns. Let's start there and just your thoughts on the upgrade over Tony D'Angelo and I say this because and I loved Tony I thought Tony was great for this team aboard his Brent Burns bring that Tony D'Angelo couldn't well I think there's a little bit more about maybe a score mentality than what Tony had it you know Brent a really really old guy having a few watchful kind of goal or not. Like the blue line and and just rickshaw and I can do that same time amazing.

And you know can make pleasing tight that you would expect from a guy that I met at that and then I think the bigger body and you know that I chose moving more toward you know that guy may be of another important but you can't pick five guys your net on the defensive end and I helped others is any question. The fact is, is that he's also used to playing a 20 minutes.

Not that he's ever going to have to play 26 minutes for the hurricanes is Jacob Slaven unless he's the only NHL defensemen on the roster that particular night's implant 26 minutes but it somebody that can probably partner with Slaven to play 22 or 23. I actually think you'll get better in terms of his physicality.

His baby's production by playing fewer minutes.

Is that possible yeah I mean I think you know you got to play with some really acquired on the power play through you know Spano. They have an you know been in the back graduation. The last few years in a couple years ago they were now in the playoffs and whatnot but into a great situation, especially when you consider the other guy. The other big guide added. So I think point could certainly go up and then you know the up and go at even strength. Obviously you know Tony really counted guy and can do a lot of talk but like I said Brent Berg, medical supplies, a lot of people with how skilled he really is not just a big guy back there who's destroying the clock every time he can make them really feel point I bet he gets back to shooting the puck more, which is sort of gotten away from the last several years. Even though his plan. 26 minutes a shot total is down almost 130 from a few years ago and I think they have asked him to do different things and now I can go back to doing what he what he really wants to do what he does best. Again, I'm assuming that he'll play with Jacob Slaven. It seems to make the most sense. Cora La Follette notes her journal at Cory love on twitter you alluded to Max Pat you ready to leave. Essentially, all were given by the Vegas goldeneye. To me that's what future consideration says to me we want nothing from you about the hurricanes took the salary for one year of Max Pat you ready because Vegas is well over the And they need to get Jack Michael on the ice, as well as some of their other players.

What patchy are ready bring to Carolina and we have to hope that he will stay healthy, which he is not generally in his career. Yeah, I'm very concerned about the health often when we talk. He said that here was a little quirky with a couple broken bone, which happen anybody on we clean like you've been hugely in your injury.

Probably one of the guys had the map for 10 or 15 year and your healthy compile time.

I think then you can take that, especially if you're the doctor part of what he brings my name is a mentally count dialogue. You know fortunate in my previous job that I worked on University of Michigan publication so I thought that you ready when he is one year Michigan and I kind of watched him because I remember him coming through the college being recruited at all that and again like Burns. The really really counted guy and I think the one of the key thing about him if he can create scoring chances on his own.

He's not trigger man so to speak where your you're looking for a guy that can set them up to school all the time I finish it. You can do it on his own to and I think that's what's really exciting is you know, for the loss of Nino is if you look back at what Mac was done throughout his credit the guy scores eight on the even strength goal. I mean it's not like he's just a power-play guys not even really a power-play guy score on the power play. But you made his money he made his mark at even strength choir and you know no matter where they end up putting MI mean you cannot create chances on his own and you mentioned shot you know shot shot on goal with with Greg Byrne.

You know that you're ready, you know, he could have 250 shot shot this year like situation journals joining us here teens.

I think doing Andre, she was the free-agent signings before I ask you to just a comment on this on him. They've already started bringing in what amounts to, you know, veteran players on a monitor to a deal which means they're probably going to go to to the Chicago wolves in the American likely do you think they're done other than possibly Ethan bear whose file for arbitration and more teenagers. Yeah, I think both "get on one way or another.

One thing about me. I know Rod would prefer to have you know even number of left-handed and right-handed defensemen playing in right now. Unlike last year when there were the bulk of left-handed guys now you look at the rock wall from right-handed guys. You know the additional Burns obviously take over yet. But then Dylan called when it came in the patchy radio Galen Chatfield is probably good. Have a good chance to make the theme argue that he can barely mention overall right-handed guys right now it's just Shay and Slaven on the left side and then? Of course, what happened with Jay Carter, told me the one place is Jacob younger say anything to be ready to go for camp and will be what happened there. Jacob play any we know you but you know how to play or when he tells me the question of how healthy of you. How much of the year really almost 2 years of not plan you don't take out of them. But the one thing about them is maybe some… On the left side of the defense could even you know once you get past those guys I mentioned, you know there's Max was while I get to have a chance. And yes, Purcell brings another guy, but even Joey Keynes right-handed code one area where I could see something is available on the cheap and you know, especially if something happens in the converse of the work itself out.

I could see them adding left-handed defensemen. But now I think your you're good to go yeah okay so here's where where I am with this and feel free to disagree which I know you never you're not shy about that and that's why like talking you about these things. I look at this roster and there are three glaring weaknesses for me. There is no right-handed center. None. I unless it more teenagers takes face-offs and is not great at it. So with there's no step on her show, check, or anybody who will play center plays on the right side. I'm not crazy about the third pair regardless who that group is. I really don't think Jay Gardner's been a play for the hurricanes because if he does I don't know how they sign natures and another plan they can sign natures and bear with their remaining Room. I still think they need an element of grittiness to like play would stall. And yes, per Foss on that line. Those three things are worrisome to me.

Yeah I completely concur with the big question I get in the maybe not for this year, but in the long term is is that the article center as if he is then you know obviously you don't want to go and spend big money on a right-handed center.

If you think even your Coptic for the future but you know I don't worry so much about. They talk of Rod Penn like to use the wingers on the five way needs doing things like that though I never like you said, there's nature third started folk and do a good job in the middle. It's not terrible expert who played with Jordan stall. I imagine ready there.

I could, you know, if cost of healthy. I could see him there.

There so many options. Good you know that it it's pretty interesting to think about, you know what they could do in that spot now. The one weird thought all that kind of on the right side things get a little crowded so you know we'll see. Maybe you know I know Andre question I've been thrilled playing with Jordan stall on the path want to really see that happen. So you have to figure that out but at the same time you know with the way the fourth line could be constructed collecting street on the fee next year. You know if your fourth line is is Jack Drury Andre cost and and you know natures or something of that ilk. All of a sudden maybe the following doesn't have to play as many men happen.

The path so becomes a legitimate source line checking line identity line which the Islanders had four for a long long time. I we need to talk more about this as we get closer training camcorder level. It is that a deal that I meant to talk to you very soon. Cory La Follette North, a journalist at Cory log on twitter when we come back as we know it's good to be know you don't Armando Baker join us next golden studio with my friend Coach Pete through the capital financial advisory group.

We are talking retirement hotels longevity risk figure into our retirement and income plan. This is the best of times and the worst of times and longevity risk to live too long, but to me everyday lives not too long we want to money to outlive us and unfortunately many people have seen you out there listening maybe one of them. Your money is not designed to outlive you. You might outlive your money and that's not what we want to have happen as we get to that day after you run out of money not to be a fun time with design a plan that guarantees you never run out of money.

We call it the GPI plant growth protection lifetime income for the next 10 people is the golden ticket out of the house know that even at no cost or obligation, and all you have to do is call we make it so easy. Would you like financial independence into your retirement and beyond. 800-661-7383 that golden ticket is a $1000 value or you could text Adam to 21000 for Coach Pete to root Armando Baker of North Carolina will join us in the matter moment talk a little bit more about this at the bottom of the hour. Want to get into a little bit more.

The open championship cam Smith and Rory McElroy's disappointment. Do you know what it so it's something that should be discussed and it was it was a tremendous tremendous golf tournament. It's it's why people are hooked on major championship golf. It went right down to the final hole yeah it was. It was a shootout to an extent all weekend long. Even though Rory didn't make anything you looked at really for us, not really. Just yesterday, I would argue that Rory left a good six or seven shots out of St. Andrews over the course of 70 tools but so did cam I can Dave Kim, Ken Smith left some shots out there to anyway. What's the don't like the number one topic in golf for the last two months has been the live golf series.

They're about to make a whole bunch of news. Seriously, now it's possible, although not confirmed is been rumored that cam Smith himself is going to leave the PGA Tour to go play live support, but how about this David ferry is going to leave NBC and become a broadcaster for tour. That's not me. Okay that is incredible. I'm sure they paid him a little money doesn't matter, Henrik Stenson, who is the European Ryder Cup Capt. for now is also I don't think the announcement is official, but as soon as it is official he will no longer be the European Ryder Cup Capt. I don't even understand why live golf once Henrik Stenson even when he was at the height of his game. He's not a draw now nobody tunes in to watch Henrik Stenson unless he is playing in his underwear go for gold Google search that Henrik Stenson underwear and you'll see Henrik Stenson playing a shot went standing in a lake.

Justin is briefs. My area fired is not that that's a little bit on-site to use the old 5G sound, not what Melcher don't go to hole-in-one.com bio I'm just saying if you do, Henrik Stenson, underwear, you'll probably pull up Henrik Stenson swing standing like I like my job so I don't get that and the other part of the story is Sergio Garcia is says he's going to quit the European tour because he doesn't feel loved, doesn't feel loved is just starting but all of these things are happening, there's a lot of news is about to be made from the live series a lot of new players are going to jump some will wait until after the tour championship is there's about three events I believe. After the tour championship some way to learn, but I think most are going to go in the next 80 all this week.

June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became the 25th anniversary of the move presented by the Carolina listen now find Armando Baker returns for his senior season at UNC Petaluma media session and we are fortunate enough that our friends at UNC handed Armando telephone to talk to us for couple minutes. How's your off-season been how is your summer been our group is not really our group to work on Monday left out a little bit. This is another really good letter was bigger glad that much better. You can get is 50 almost 57% shooting 16 1/2 points, 13 rebounds look. There was a time last year when Micah Sharansky called you, the player of the year in the league, and then you and you spoiled his eyes final game at all what you could do that. Miracles are very, very religious and very good coast of all Tarbert and what his favorite was when you play Beard out one of our goals were always in ankles were involved league almost look your peers in your coaches and I know your teammates look at you. You are such a warrior last year because there wasn't a lot.

Although Brady manic had a second half of the year not to be believed, there was you didn't have a lot to help inside in your plate hobbled for a good portion of it. Where was the turning point for you guys last year because it seemed there was a game at Wake Forest or even the home game against. There was there was a lot of negativity from outside of the program. So how did that happen at the end of the year there will be locked away for good. We really work with everybody and we just been worried about any else on the lock their number would drop her grandma. But all started out with great basketball men and just started really playing together as a team, we, God, or definitive Bureau of all our world and how wonderful it is Hubert Davis help guide you through all that you made a few tweaks to the offers. What I mean really occurred and he was told he was so proud of us leaving Jim could appoint him. It is not something really here in about 20 point search about an hour not.

I really just made us all one article is interesting. I talk to you… Long after the game and he had some very, very pointed criticism was the last time you heard a North Carolina team and Hubert don't send them there better than us. And so what kind of a wake-up call was better really light upon the note articles are barred by me and I'm all for the different motivators all over America. That was great about Xhosa due to arch.

Let's get into the game at Cameron which there were times, especially considering that they had had their way with you in Chapel Hill a few weeks prior. There were times where it look like they were trying to deliver a knockout blow. You guys survived that and then come back and do what you did in the second half really is mad and angry because the whole week to talk about it unit automobile, walking apart, there is really a hostile environment is that is much fun. I don't even know how you you describe meeting in the final four. How you compare meeting in the final four or that game at Cameron indoor Stadium was the game at Cameron as much fun as you had playing basketball earlier my birth.

American girl very good so I know is you bragging day. Robert Mark Russo right.

We won the game. We went out have fun and old school so I mean don't you know better than that. Well all right soon soon for the people outside everybody talks about the rivalry and I joked with John shire last week. How does is there a way back for Duke in the rivalry when you think like those the two on game that the rivalry will ever see in you guys want him did you end would later come to the robbery.

In general, and all the great players that are played in it for both. We did it when it was a lot of bragging rights were and it all to game do you like this robbery is great for that to happen in them and will be planning to go for another hundred 200 hopefully all of the world on those I would be over.

But I made some bright lights of the fans but I mean we will proceed to go through your plan is to dislike it was you know how we approach those guys coming to the Norman bragging rights early or middle point of order will since I had to more questionable skill. Armando Bacon appreciate your time. How different in terms of the steel leading up to the game at the final four was that from the game at Cameron in the final four to clarify the 2000 people so ugly it was crazy and I mean I know ha ha speak the word but we all want to go to that is true, but I mean numbers your article and never have been a number no.

CV talk about all the great reported on Craig Neubauer was.

It was an absolute. It turned everybody here on it's here right now.

You could however you want to answer. This is fine. Why did you come back for one more year to go. This all came together and wanted to get another crack at it.

We have so much fun in March and April so we never got on another place where I know everybody Mrs. Brady manic that that that run that he had no holy cow, I still can't figure out why he's not on a roster because 16 guys you can shoot and have that kind of a beard like Josh got here. Now help on the weight of it will be good tightwad written for you.

Armando Bacon appreciate your time and good luck you hope your I hope your wheels are healed from from the off-season will see will talk to you soon. You got it Armando big got UNC Center and probably going to be the preseason player of the year in the ACC pilot Brady manic was with the hornets some during the summer league. Yeah, he's gotta get on roster 610 guys you can shoot it the way you can shoot it and I think one of the things that impressed me now, not expecting it. He's knocking to be a shutdown defensive guy, but he competed on the defensive end. I don't see any reason why somebody like manic can't plainly master would then care a lot not only the final four game is size bothered banker yeah there's no doubt about and we we look I think Paula Ben Carol is good to take his game to a level that Brady manic and can't get too short but last year we just saw him compete and that's all he had to do was compete make it tough and he did a great job doing that this is the atom gold shell June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 with the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became 1/25 anniversary of the move presented by the Carolina listen now find
