Adam Kimelman of NHL.com: The Hurricanes have missed the playoffs the past nine seasons and new GM Don Waddell said he could be looking to shake things up.
Waddell said that there are some players that have been with the team for a long-time and they need to change the culture a bit. He added that they would be okay if everyone returned, but added that some may need a fresh start and they could use the assets.
The Hurricanes are still talking to pending UFA goaltender Cam Ward, but haven’t made a final decision to bring him back or not.
