This offseason has been busy for many teams in the NHL. For two teams in the Metropolitan Division, this has been a very active offseason. The Philadelphia Flyers have traded away Kevin Hayes, Ivan Provorov, and released Tony DeAngelo. The reigning divisional leader Carolina Hurricanes haven’t been slouches either. They added Dmitri Orlov and DeAngelo to their defense, Michael Bunting to their offense, and re-signed goaltenders Antti Raanta and Frederik Andersen.
The Hurricanes have several needs, however. Andersen and Raanta are not a bad duo to have in net, but they have been injured often over the last few years.
