This week in Hurricanes talk
The shows spent the week on Carolina's front office moves and early season form. Kochetkov has been sharp in net while the Nikishin signing finally wrapped up after a long negotiation, though the hosts see it as a temporary fix given the team's defensive depth. The Hurricanes are getting attention as a measuring-stick matchup this week with Taylor Hall back in the lineup.
