Carolina Hurricanes general manager Eric Tulsky addressed the media ahead of the team's season opener to discuss roster decisions. Tulsky confirmed that while Felix Unger Sorum and Bradly Nadeau earned spots, there is currently no room on the main roster, though both have earned the trust of head coach Rod Brind'Amour.
