And tomorrow is Friday! What a week, huh?
- Chip Alexander of the News & Observer spoke to Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell. Here are some highlights, or if you prefer to see it in story form, right this way.
Waddell says it’s safe to assume Canes will take Svechnikov if Carolina makes No. 2 pick and Dahlin as expected goes No. 1.

Waddell says it would take an offer that “blows us away” to trade No. 2 pick. Says no offer has come close to that.

Waddell said the new assistant coach could be hired before the end of the week. Said a delay in the hire came because he was in Buffalo for the scouting combine.

Waddell said no decision had been made on whether to simulcast Canes games next season.
