The Carolina Hurricanes are sticking with Eric Tulsky as their general manager. The Hurricanes said Tuesday they have taken the interim tag off Tulsky and officially promoted him to GM. That move followed Don Waddell stepping down May 24 and later taking over the front office for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
