CanesCast

CanesCast gets a new co-host but a familiar voice in Shane Willis. Shane and Mike Maniscalco discuss the addition of Jesperi Kotkaniemi and how the lines could look for Rod Brind’Amour's squad. Also covered: why offer sheets are a good thing when used correctly, the NHL and the Olympics, how the Canes stack up in the Metro and what the players are doing leading up to camp. 

Gather round for a truly epic podcast production. It's Michael Smith's swan song, as his decade-long tenure with the Canes comes to an end. To celebrate, we welcome in a cavalcade of guest stars and share never-before-heard tales, plenty of laughs and a few tears. Thank you, and moi moi.
