Welcome to the Hurricanes’ offseason. The 2021 season included a lot of highs, including a division championship, but ultimately ended in disappointment with a five-game second-round loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Now the work begins on taking the next step to being a true Stanley Cup Contender. This will be a very important offseason for the Hurricanes, with a lot of key decisions to be made, as Brett outlined yesterday.
This offseason will continue to be a bit unconventional schedule wise due to the COVID-era shortened season before the NHL hopefully returns to a normal calendar, and, of course, the Seattle Kraken making their selections in the expansion draft will play a huge role in most decisions teams make.
