The idea that Carolina has formed some beyond reproach culture is overplayed at this point. They've done some absolute boneheaded things over the past couple years.
-continue to employ the "any goaltender will do" strategy
-continue to sign and re-sign debags such as DeAngelo
-kotkaniemi was truly one of the most embarrassing and damaging moves any NHL team has made in the last decade
-Hamilton for nothing was stupid... They get praised for that kind of move for some reason, but we know all too well how stupid it is
I like a lot of what they do, but them souring on Necas isn't a harbinger to me, it's an opportunity.
