Brind'Amour: Hurricanes' Roster Battle Has Thinned Out
Carolina's head coach says fewer spots are up for grabs in camp than in past years, with Alexander Nikishin's RFA standoff the lone exception.
Rod Brind'Amor says competition for places in Carolina's line-up has thinned out compared with earlier in his time behind the bench.
The head coach made the point on TSN's OverDrive, contrasting the current roster with squads he has had in the past, when a handful of spots — occasionally even the goaltending job — stayed open into camp.
One vacancy remains this year. Alexander Nikishin, a restricted free agent, has not taken part in training camp. He has reportedly requested a trade.
