Remember this when people in Toronto tell you the NHL’s salary cap is bad and big market teams should be allowed to spend as much as they want.

The Hurricanes were mostly quiet on Day 1 of the NHL Draft, but they made a lot of noise in announcing that Seth Jarvis has undergone shoulder surgery.
Category 5: Hurricanes punt on Day 1 of NHL Draft
MORRISVILLE — It’s been a whirlwind two weeks for the Hurricanes, who went from winning the Stanley Cup and holding a downtown Raleigh parade to preparing for the busiest part of the NHL’s offseason. That officially began Friday with the first round of the two-day NHL Draft. Carolina entered the

No procedures for Slavin. Just Robinson and Jarvis
Bokonon@whynosnow.bsky.social · last mo.Ooooh! Do Slavin next!
Tulsky didn’t want to get into talks he’s had with Andersen and Reilly. Said he’s open to both returning. Said he’d be comfortable with a Bussi-Kochetkov tandem if that’s how things go; sounded like he expects Primeau (an RFA) back but might need another goalie for depth in Greensboro.
Jarvis’ surgery — already done — puts him on track for a return somewhere between the end of October to around the calendar flip.
He’s had this issue for two seasons. It eventually needed surgery — Tulsky said if they had missed the playoffs last season, he probably would have had it then. But the Olympics was also a consideration this season.
@ron-speaks.bsky.social · last mo.Did Seth's surgery have anything to do with when he crashed into the goal and was out for several games?
Tulsky didn’t have any information about game broadcasts for next season.
Tulsky said there haven’t been contract negotiations yet with Nikishin since there’s no pressure to get anything done now with the draft and free agency so soon after the season. Says his name has naturally come up in rumors because he’s the one player unsigned.
Both Robinson and Jarvis already had their procedures. Tulsky said it opens the door for a prospect — Nadeau is an option — to get a prolonged look.
