Dundon Engraves Family Names on Stanley Cup, Sparking Debate

Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon sparked backlash by engraving seven Dundons (his name, wife Veruschka, and their five children) on the Stanley Cup ahead of front-office staff, coaches and players who helped win the title; space on the Cup forced omissions of other contributors, a practice echoed by Florida Panthers owner Vincent Viola; the Hurricanes clinched their first Cup in 20 years by defeating the Vegas Golden Knights in six games.

Canes Obtain John Carlson Rights, Start Negotiations Ahead of Free Agency

The Carolina Hurricanes have acquired the rights to defenseman John Carlson from the Anaheim Ducks and will negotiate a potential deal before Carlson hits free agency on July 1; the Ducks received defense prospect Kyle Masters and pick 162 in return, with no pre-arranged agreement in place yet. Carlson, 36, posted 60 points last season and could immediately bolster Carolina’s top-pair and power-play, but the team must navigate about $11 million in cap space, potentially complicating a fit with Nikishin, who is reportedly on the trade block. Anaheim is expected to let Masters explore free agency, while Carlson’s addition could significantly upgrade the Hurricanes’ blue line as they chase continued Cup contention.
