  • Sounds like the Hurricanes are moving closer to relocating their practice facility to the new Wake Competition Center now being built in Morrisvlle. [N&O]
  • WE HAVE NEWS! Ryan Ellis signed a 8 year/$50 million contract extension to stay in Nashville. [CBS Sports]
  • Poor Andrej Sekera just can’t catch a break.
  • A goalie was just seconds away from taking his own life. Here’s a look at how he’s bounced back and got the help he needs and how other leagues can look after their player’s mental health. [The Players Tribune]

  • The Hurricanes have a player who was snubbed in the NHL’s rankings of top defensemen. Whoever could it be? (It’s revealed about halfway through this thread.)
