The Vancouver Canucks and the Carolina Hurricanes may find common ground in that they have not had much success over the most recent years. The Hurricanes, however, find themselves in an eight-year playoff drought, something that Vancouver does not have to worry about quite yet.
That does not mean that the Canucks are a better club than the Hurricanes at this point, however. In some ways, the future looks brighter and closer in Carolina than it does in Vancouver.
Led by a young forward trio in Teuvo Teravainen, Sebastian Aho and Elias Lindholm, the Hurricanes’ quest for a return to the playoffs and the Stanley Cup looks bright.
