## Resource

The Hurricanes just locked in Pierre-Olivier Joseph, a 27-year-old left-handed defenseman with over 200 NHL games and a gold medal, to fill the veteran seventh defenseman role left open by free-agent Mike Reilly. While Joseph’s signing is a solid, immediate move, the bigger picture remains murky—especially with Alexander Nikishin’s contract status still unresolved. The defense corps still has flexibility, thanks to players like Shayne Gostisbehere who can adapt, and the shifting market for defensemen, with big contracts lately, may be slowing down negotiations. The season’s biggest defensive puzzle? Still being solved. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
