Peter Karmanos Addresses Raleigh Media
On Wednesday afternoon, Carolina Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos met the media and as usual, it was not a boring event.
The press conference was probably held because it was supposed to be regarding his recent selection to the Hockey Hall of Fame, but Karmanos fielded questions about everything.
I was fortunate enough to attend, made a recording, and took copious notes. This is what happened.
Early on, he was asked if he felt responsible for the Alexander Semin signing.
"Yes, ultimately, I'm responsible for everything," replied the owner. "I do not have to take responsibility for Pittsburgh signing Kessel, however". (And so it begins.)
