The other shoe dropped early Saturday at the NHL draft, with Carolina uncluttering their goalie cupboard by dealing Anton Khudobin to Anaheim in exchange for veteran offensive defenseman James Wisniewski.
Earlier in the day, Carolina landed Vancouver goalie Eddie Lack in exchange for two draft picks (the 66th overall this year and a seventh rounder next year), making Khudobin expendable. The moves in goal freed up some money for the Hurricanes to add Wisniewski, who is set to make $5 million this season and $3 million next year, although he carries a $5.
