Waddell had been interviewing for the Minnesota Wild’s vacant general manager spot and this deal secures his services in Carolina for the coming years. Before joining the Hurricanes, Waddell held roles as assistant general manager in Detroit in 1997-98 and was the Atlanta Thrashers’ first general manager.
