They have a ton of young D that need minutes. Didn't think they'd buy him out but not a huge shock

Skated all of 47 seconds for the Hurricanes. That has to be a record? Sad to see he was bought out, thought he could brought some nice veteran leadership on that right side.

Canes fans are all surprised. Really not sure why this happened. Canes are a Cap Floor team right now and Wizniewski was only owed $3 million this year.
