Tony D’Angelo. Brendan Lemieux. Michael Bunting.
It’s been pretty clear the last few years that the Hurricanes realized that there was a type of player that was missing on its team of mostly nice guys. They were missing an agitator. Someone who will get under the skin of the opposition, force them into mistakes, and then pounce quickly to make them pay. Each one of those prior signings ended poorly for the Canes as they either were quickly dispatched to another team or they had some sort of hole in their game that the rest of the squad couldn’t make up for.
