What are his thoughts on the trade that was made to bring Rod over as HC of the Carolina Hurricanes? What was Rod like as a teammate? As a young player, was there more pressure on Erik to play up to a certain standard? Is it inaccurate to say Rod coaches his players how he was, and likes to be, coached? Is there anyone you can think of that has been as influential to a franchise as Rod has been to the Carolina Hurricanes?
