This is the year for the Carolina Hurricanes to finally break their playoff drought. At least, that’s what half of the Canes Country staff thinks.
As is our tradition, prior to every season we present our predictions, and this year we’re doing them a bit differently. Below you’ll find a table of our projected finish for teams in the Metro. Then, we’ll go writer by writer, detailing the best case, worst case, and most likely scenarios for the Canes this season. We’ll also offer our projected Eastern Conference playoff teams, our prediction for the Stanley Cup Final, and who will raise the chalice come June.
