Pageau and Erik Karlsson, and what either move could mean for the Hurricanes if they actually pull the trigger.Then, it’s a full 32-team offseason review — who nailed free agency, who fumbled the draft, and who’s just completely directionless (looking at you, some Canadian teams).Of course, we pay tribute to Eric Tulsky, the brains behind Carolina’s chaos. Did he cook? Absolutely. But did he make a few questionable calls too? Well… we’ve got thoughts.Sharp analysis, spicy opinions, and way too much coffee — it's another classic Category Chaos deep dive.
