Deadline Drama: Which Seven NHL Teams Are Racing Against Time to Shake Up Their Rosters?
Carolina Hurricanes
Four years in a row, the Hurricanes have been eliminated in the playoffs by either the Florida Panthers or the New York Rangers. With the Rangers hopeless and the Panthers sitting eight points back of a wild-card spot, those obstacles are likely out of the way this year. Couple that with Carolina standing out as the only true Cup contender in the Metro division — Washington and New Jersey have regressed significantly, and though the Penguins and Islanders are feel-good stories, they aren’t threats to win a championship — and this year represents the Hurricanes’ best chance of reaching the Stanley Cup Final with this core.
