Reading Assignments
- Tonight is the draft lottery, where the Hurricanes will invariably fall a couple of spots because God forbid they ever get some good luck. They’ll announce picks 15-4 in the Sharks/Golden Knights pregame show tonight, and the top three picks during the second intermission. [NHL]
- If you’re into numerology, here are the combinations that would result in the Canes getting one of the top three picks:

- Don Waddell gives an update on where the searches for the new GM and coach stand, including why some of the big names might take a pass. [News and Observer]
- Rick Dudley, who Waddell worked with in Atlanta, is apparently in the Canes’ plans, but how?
The @NHLCanes asked the @CanadiensMTL the permission to talk to Rick Dudley. Permission granted. It’s not for the gm position. Dudley’s contract is due in June but could still return with the Habs. #tvasports

- Some hack writer weighs in on Bill Peters’ new gig. [CBC]
- A couple of additional Hurricanes will be headed to Denmark in a couple of weeks:

- Kingston was eliminated from the OHL playoffs, bringing an end to Jeremy Helvig’s junior career, and his team and his dad had some parting thoughts:
Congratulations to Frontenacs Goaltender #60 Jeremy Helvig on an amazing #OHL career. So happy to see Jeremy sign a professional contract and become a top tier goalie in the league. #BearTheK pic.twitter.com/77JJPbJTFU

- This story is mostly about Red Wings prospect Michael Rasmussen, but there are a few notes about how Canes draftee Morgan Geekie has contributed to Rasmussen’s season. [The Athletic ($)]
- Brian Burke is leaving the Flames effective Monday... [Flames]
- ...and is headed to Sportsnet for the rest of the playoffs. [Sportsnet]
- And finally:
I don’t want to ruin everyone’s life but I’ve heard of a hockey player putting on his socks and dress shoes BEFORE putting on their dress pants. If I ever witnessed that there probably would have been a fist fight.

Ok fine. It’s Erik Cole. I hope he doesn’t have Twitter.
