- Lots of Twitter stuff today. First, some #insiderr banter about the Canes’ GM position:
Hearing Carolina recently spoke with Bruins exec John Ferguson Jr about their vacant GM job, continue to speak to different people. Canes also spoke with Habs exec Rick Dudley about a different role in their organization but doesn't sound like that will work out at this point.

Spoke to Don Waddell before the Lottery. He does not expect to be GM by the draft. But he will participate in upcoming amateur and pro scouting meetings. Says there is now a list of 4 potential candidates for GM. Included on that list is Boston AGM John Ferguson.

Just a bit of news while we await OT: Don Waddell is going to continue as GM in CAR for now...couldn't make a deal with Steve Greeley (BUF), and there are no plans to hire anyone in the near term.
