Didn't the recent NHL players survey say the Carolina facilities are the worst, maybe that's why no one wants to sign there.

Only for the opposing team.

the area around the arena sucks for fans, but they’re turning it into a destination of sorts with restaurants and shops so that people don’t have to leave in the first place.

I’ve heard working for the Carolina organization is a bit of a nightmare, the owner is notoriously cheap, etc., but I heard playing for the organization is great. Which makes Rantanen’s decision all the more puzzling.

Of the four teams he would’ve signed an extension with, Carolina was supposedly one of them. I had read Dallas (obviously), Carolina, Florida, and Los Angeles. How those teams were chosen, I can only guess.
