With the likely line changes the Hurricanes will see at the start of the season, the J Line of Jordans Staal and Martinook, and Jesper Fast might be the most critical line in the playbook. At least for the immediate future.
Adding Michael Bunting, and his career 57 goals in 187 games to the already crowded forwards division on the Hurricanes means a mix up of lines, and the likelihood of at least one talented forward joining the press box corps. Carolina’s goofy preseason schedule, with last week’s split squad games, and the gap between games will mean even less time for lines to form.
