Now that the Stanley Cup has been awarded, the NHL’s offseason is going to start fast and furious, with the 2020 Entry Draft set for next Tuesday and Wednesday, and free agency set to open next Friday at noon.
It figures to be a busy time for the Hurricanes, who have the 13th overall pick in Tuesday’s first round. With everything that’s coming up, general manager Don Waddell and Director of Player Personnel Darren Yorke met with the media via Zoom Thursday. The draft was the primary topic of conversation, but Waddell also offered updates on several other key topics of interest for the Hurricanes.
