Don Waddell likes his Carolina Hurricanes, but hopes to add another piece to the puzzle

Don Waddell, the President and General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes joins Craig and Sean, 18 days ahead of the NHL trade deadline to discuss his plans to replace the injured Max Pacioretty, if he's willing to part with his first round pick, the Hurricanes overall performance this season and how much the franchise is looking forward to this weekend's stadium series vs the Washington Capitals at NC state. The guys respond to your comments and questions in our third segment, and ask the question, is it wise for General Managers to publicly speak before a trade deadline? Craig is all for it, Sean, isn't convinced.  Setting hockey a side for a few moments, Craig and Sean try to make sense of the senseless tragic shooting at Michigan State University that hits close to home for Craig.
