«We talk daily about it, and I feel very confident, as I've said before, that this deal will get done,» Waddell said. «Rod wants to be a Hurricane for life. To me, when you're dealing with contracts, there's always two sides. Rod's been great to deal with. There's gonna be a solution here very quickly, I feel.»
«Don and him are working on it. I don't think there's anything there,» Dundon told the paper over the phone. «We're in the playoffs and they haven't focused on it. They're doing it together. I said OK to almost everything they've asked me for. They're just getting through the last little stuff.»
With the Islanders behind them, the Carolina Hurricanes are preparing to take on the presidents trophy winning New York Rangers which will be a great series. Contract talks certainly are an obstacle and a distraction that Brind'Amour does not need. As the media has pressed for answers, Brind'Amour told them in a text
