Hurricanes' Waddell Had a Busy June; But Was It Meaningful?
The Carolina Hurricanes were extremely busy during the month of June. General manager Don Waddell made several moves that put the team at the top of the headline list several times.

Waddell Drafts Suzuki One might say that drafting Ryan Suzuki with their 28th overall pick will be meaningful for the Hurricanes' future.

Culture of Mediocrity For the past decade, the Hurricanes were mired in a culture of mediocrity and questionable effort. Many postgame press conferences started with the inane, "We did not start on time," observation by the head coach. After the season in April 2015, I spoke with most of the Hurricanes players individually as they were cleaning out their lockers. I asked each one of them about the phenomenon of not starting on time. Most said it was up to the individual to get themselves ready, as illustrated by this response from Justin Faulk: I think that is up to the individual. I think each guy needs to come ready to go, whether it’s myself or anyone else. I think you gotta do whatever you need to do to get ready to...
