NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is visiting Raleigh and it expected to announce at a 2 p.m. press conference today that the Triangle will host the 2004 NHL Draft.
The Canes said in August they had been told to prepare for that date and if those plans aren't finalized soon, the NHL runs the risk of losing the hotel rooms it has blocked for June 2004.
