"We want to add good players," Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell said Saturday, "because to win hockey games, unless the rules change this summer, you've got to score more goals than the other team, so you want to make sure you get a player that can contribute offensively. He just had that extra knack, the way he plays, that's something that we definitely wanted and (coach) Rod [Brind'Amour] wanted and so that was a bonus to be able to get that type of player."
