As we finally edge closer to the end of the extended 2019-20 NHL season, what should be a fun, yet hectic, offseason across the league approaches.
The evergreen need for the Hurricanes comes between the pipes, as Carolina should be looking to improve on the netminding tandem of Petr Mrazek and James Reimer. The difficult thing for the Canes there is that Mrazek and Reimer are both under contract for next season, combining for a cap hit of $6.525 million.
To bring a new goalie in, the Canes will almost certainly need to offload one of the guys that they have, so it’ll be a tricky road ahead for Don Waddell.
