Hurricanes Keep the Room Tight After Missing on Rantanen, Marner

Carolina keeps selling the same pitch the best teams always do - the room matters, the hierarchy is clear, and everybody knows his job. That kind of “family” setup sounds great until the market opens and the big fish go elsewhere, which is exactly where the Hurricanes have found themselves. The front office has taken some swings at star talent, but the roster still has to live with the reality that not every big-name chase ends with a new sweater.
