Here are five questions for the Hurricanes as they open their season Saturday at PNC Arena against the Minnesota Wild.
What about a new owner?
Hurricanes president Don Waddell said late this week that the sales process continues. Chuck Greenberg, the sport attorney who is heading up an investment team that wants to buy the Hurricanes, says it has been “business as usual.” No snags in the negotiations, both agree.
It’s a complex sale, and it will need NHL approval before the ownership change, but Canes owner Peter Karmanos and the Greenberg group may have a deal in place before the season ends.
