While the Carolina Hurricanes may not have descended into full-on rebuild mode quite yet, they seem to have accepted the fact that the future faces of the organization are already in Raleigh or in the pipeline.
Regardless of what comes of the Eric Staal/Cam Ward contract situation(s), the Hurricanes will be carried through to the 2020’s by players like Elias Lindholm, Victor Rask, Haydn Fleury, Noah Hanifin, Brock McGinn, Jeff Skinner, Justin Faulk, etc.
