With Erik Cole's broken neck sidelining him in March, the Hurricanes had to act quickly to add a forward at the trade deadline.
While the Hurricanes' addition of Doug Weight in 2006 felt natural, the same can't be said for Mark Recchi when the team traded for him over a month later. A lot of that stems from one specific incident in early March. If not for this moment, despite the words of the then-general manager, Recchi might not have become a Carolina Hurricane.
