Carolina Hurricanes: Why You Should Be Excited About Erik Haula

A few weeks ago, on June 27th, the Carolina Hurricanes traded Nicolas Roy and a conditional (pending Haula’s status with the Canes next season) 2021 5th Round Pick to the Vegas Golden Knights for Erik Haula.

Haula had a brilliant 2017-18 season with the Golden Knights; the then 27-year old forward notched a career-high 29 goals and 26 assists for a combined 55 points in 76 games played in the regular season; Haula had 3 goals and 6 assists for 9 total points in 20 games during the 2017-18 playoffs.

After his breakout season with the Golden Knights, Haula was on pace to keep up the momentum going into the 2018-19 season, but those hopes were cut short on November 6th, 2018; Haula suffered a season-ending injury against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
