Unveiling the Surprising NHL Offseason Makeovers: Which Teams Are Poised to Shock the League?
The back end is a bit trickier to evaluate, given K’Andre Miller’s last season. Miller took a step back along with the rest of the Rangers and doesn’t currently grade out as a huge needle-mover relative to what the Hurricanes lost. The fit, though, is hard to ignore and it wouldn’t be a shock to see Miller elevate to his best self in Carolina’s system.
With Alexander Nikishin ready to rock, Carolina’s defense looks promising, even if on paper it arguably took a step back. It’s up to the new guys to deliver, but regardless, the addition of Ehlers is huge. It’s enough to make the Hurricanes one of the league’s most improved teams this summer, which speaks volumes about a team that’s coming off a trip to the conference finals.
