We don’t really have many links today because yesterday’s big story in the NHL was also the big story locally: Peter Karmanos has reportedly, at long last, found a buyer for the Carolina Hurricanes that will keep the team in Raleigh. I know it’s tempting to jump at the news, and it’s also tempting to offer a backlash take - “well, his statement says he’s evaluating whether to keep the team, so this is all going to come to nothing” - but there are more than a few reasons that this news should be taken as a positive development.
