The Carolina Hurricanes made the right decision Wednesday sending rookie forward, Jack Drury, back down to the AHL.
It is never ideal to head to the minors, but this is a good thing for Drury and the organization.
For one, it shows the organizational depth the Hurricanes possess but also that the NHL squad is playing well enough to not have space for the promising youngster.
The return of Teuvo Teravainen and Sebastian Aho to the lineup from injury has provided the NHL depth envisioned by Don Waddell in the off-season.
The last piece to Waddell’s puzzle will be the debut of the acquisition Max Pacioretty, which means someone else will have to be removed from the starting lineup.
