This could be a test of the Hurricanes' owners. I assume they are one of the teams who operate on an internal budget and paying $7 million x 3 years is a huge burden.
Wonder if they would even consider dangling their first-round pick - likely a top five pick - with Semin for something in return. Probably not, but it is the owner's money.
