So the Hurricanes signed malcontent Ron Hainsey yesterday, thus filling the hole left by an injured Joni Pitkanen. This probably takes them out of the running for a Franson offer sheet, which pretty much narrows down possible suitors to Calgary. Their team will be awful this year, so you gotta think any offer that would return at least a first round pick will be just fine for Nonis and company. What do you think?
