NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly isn't worried about the internal conflict swirling around the Carolina Hurricanes.
"We know a lot more about what's going on in Carolina than the average person and what's public," Daly said on "Hockey Central at Noon" on Sportsnet 590 The FAN on Thursday.
Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos is being sued by his three sons for $105 million, with the sons alleging their father borrowed the money from trust accounts promised to them in his will in order to fund the team.
Daly insisted it's nothing more than a familial dispute and downplayed the effect it will have on the NHL.
"I view the public litigation to be more along the lines of a family squabble than anything that would raise material concern for the league in and of itself," the deputy commissioner said.
"You have to understand the entire situation, and we're obviously, on the whole, comfortable with the entire situation of what's going on in Carolina."
One of Karmanos' sons, Jason, was fired from his role as executive vice-president and assistant general manager of the Hurricanes in the fall of 2013, reportedly over a "family matter." He was later hired by the Pittsburgh Penguins.
None of Karmanos' sons attended his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame last November.
The owner has been trying to find a buyer for the club, but wants to ensure it remains in North Carolina.
