The Latest On Don Waddell And The Carolina Hurricanes

Don Waddell doesn't have a contract with the Carolina Hurricanes, but owner Tom Dundon believes the general manager will remain in his current role.

"Yeah, I expect Don to be the GM of the team for a while," Dundon said Wednesday.

The twist is Waddell's contract with the Hurricanes expired June 30. Dundon said Waddell, who recently interviewed to be the next GM of the Minnesota Wild, has continued to work for Carolina under the terms of his expired contract. Dundon hopes their business relationship will continue that way.

"To me, he's employed by the Carolina Hurricanes," Dundon said. "He's employed and he's not going anywhere as far as I'm concerned. So the whole contract thing, I don't understand it. … I have found this weird since I got into the hockey business that the business people all have contracts. I never had contracts with the people that worked for me. It was just, 'If you do a good job (and) I like you, you'll work here, and I'll treat you fair.'
