Hurricanes Ownership Reportedly Vetoes Controversial Trade

It appears as thought Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon set his foot down and vetoed the DeAngelo trade before it could be finalized.

Why Dundon decided to block this trade is unknown, but it certainly makes things more interesting. What could've tainted Dundon's perception of DeAngelo so badly that he would veto a trade for him?

One theory is that the Hurricanes have been hard at work trying to acquire Erik Karlsson from San Jose, and the Tony DeAngelo trade would've only further complicated things. It would make sense that Dundon would want the big fish rather than a cheap, bargain deal.

While we can't confirm this rumor as fact, it seems likely that this was the reasoning for Dundon blocking the trade. We hope for his sake that this all works out in Carolina's favor.
