NHL free agency kicked off Wednesday afternoon, and the Carolina Hurricanes were very active on the open market.
The Canes added a pair of goalies in Antti Raanta and Frederik Andersen, forwards Josh Leivo and C.J. Smith and a pair of defensemen in Ian Cole and Tony DeAngelo.
The latter comes with a wave of controversy, as DeAngelo has a long history of suspensions and problematic incidents. He was bought by the Rangers just this year after playing just six games following a postgame physical altercation with goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, and was also suspended in the OHL in 2014 for a slur directed at a teammate.
