TSN: The Carolina Hurricanes and head coach Rod Brind’Amour have started talking about a contract extension according to Pierre LeBrun, but there is nothing imminent. Brind’Amour is one of five coaches who are in the last year of their deals, and the only one currently engaged in extension talks. Other teams will be keeping an eye on Brind’Amour.
“Tom Dundon, the owner, has told me a few months ago that he will absolutely get Brind’Amour signed. He’s one of the lower-paid coaches in the NHL but a lot of people around the league are keeping an eye on this.
