To say that this summer could be a monumental offseason for the Carolina Hurricanes would be an understatement. The team will be fresh off its first season (half season, really) with a new owner eager to make his impression on the team, and now the team will enter the summer with a new general manager.
Ron Francis’ sudden “reassignment” may come as a shock, but the team must quickly readjust in order to have the new general manager situated for the 2018 offseason. With free agency and the NHL Draft on the horizon, the team must find a suitable replacement that can provide value for the 2018-19 season and beyond.
