The Carolina Hurricanes are coming off a crucial victory against the New York Rangers where players like Derek Stepan, Jordan Staal, and Jesper Fast played big roles on the scoresheet and in the physical part of the game.
This group of players is focused and ready for the task at hand but the three players previously mentioned all have something in common. This summer all three will become unrestricted free agents.
None of these players will be leading the team in scoring but they play a vital role in rod Brind’Amour’s scheme, not to mention the leadership in the locker room.
