FILE - Carolina Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell faces reporters during a media availability Wednesday, May 8, 2019, in Boston. Waddell has stepped down as president and general manager of the Carolina Hurricanes , ending a run that had him build a roster that has reached the NHL playoffs for six straight years.
Waddell joined the franchise in July 2014 and oversaw business operations for the past 10 seasons. He was named GM in May 2018 when the Hurricanes missed the playoffs for the ninth straight year and played a key role in Carolina building a perennial playoff team, with at least one series win in all six postseasons.. That came as Brind’Amour, who took over to guide Carolina’s climb, re-signed with the team in a multiyear deal.
The Columbus Blue Jackets are the only team with an active GM vacancy, and Waddell has been rumored to be among the candidates.
