With the return of the injured Dougie Hamilton and Sami Vatanen, the team has nine defensemen, not counting the injured Brett Pesce. Based on comments from Don Waddell, the Hurricanes would likely need to make the Stanley Cup Final for him to play (I’d still give him a roster spot, imagine the boost a healthy Pesce could provide if the team gets that far).
