The Carolina Hurricanes have extended Rod Brind'Amour's contract, with General Manager Don Waddell expressing the priority of securing Brind'Amour. The team is looking to balance their center positions, aiming to sign pending free agents despite salary cap constraints. Brind'Amour emphasizes staying in Carolina for the 'unfinished business' of winning a Stanley Cup. The team addresses potential changes in player personnel, including the situation of Martin Necas. The Hurricanes are also considering adding a right-handed shot center and evaluating the goalkeeping situation for the upcoming season.
