Brandon Sutter expected to start season with Hurricanes

From Luke Decock of the News & Observer:

The Canes signed Sutter to a three-year, entry-level contract last March, and he finished out the season with their farm team in Albany (AHL) to positive reviews.

He will surely be a welcome addition to the Canes’ forward ranks.
