It’s been reported that the Carolina Hurricanes are scouting Jeff Petry, Ben Chiarot, and Brett Kulak of the Montreal Canadiens as the team seeks to add to the back end in preparation for the push for the Stanley Cup. I’m not sure I completely understand why, but if this is what’s being reported, let’s have a little look at it and whether or not it makes sense for the Carolina Hurricanes to try to make a move for one of these players.
Don Waddell has been very public with his desires for some additions to the backend, saying that he’s not going to subtract from the team that has been s dominant to this point in the season, but it is only right to at least consider the possibility because there’s a lot of weird things that happen in this sport.
