Les Hurricanes ont sans doute l’un des meilleurs listes de la LNH, ce qui en fait l’un des plus grands prétendants à gagner cette année. Mais y a-t-il trop de pression exercée sur cette équipe? Et une course en séries éliminatoires profonde est-elle nécessaire pour qu’ils conservent leur nouvelle superstar en ville? Eh bien aujourd’hui, parlons du hockey des ouragans et de la dépression pourquoi cette année est une coupe ou un buste en Caroline.

Canes have $30M in cap space afaik after this season, it's perfectly possible Canes will be willing to sign a big money deal for Rantanen
The canes can get to the finals, they just need to get through the Caps. If they were in the west, i doubt it. Getting through Edmonton, Dallas, Vegas, The Wild and LA depending on how they're playing… unlikely. So they are a cup team, but I doubt they're a championship team. As an Avs fan that watches every game, Rantanen is amazing but is not the franchise superstar people are saying he is.
As a long canes fan, goaltending has been the issue for a long time. But as long as both Andersen and Kotchekov are healthy and do their job. We could have a chance at winning it this year. Especially having Rantannan on our team and a great defense and an outstanding special team. LGC
I think it ultimately comes down to if Mikko fits in and enjoys his time here. If he clicks with the team/Rod, enjoys being the big guy in town not behind Nate dog, and finds success in his game, I don’t see why he wouldn’t want to stay.
Eric Tulsky is not Don Waddell and will absolutely sign him to a large contract. Tulsky has even said they learned from the Guentzel situation and want to sign him but are giving him time to adjust and see how he feels.
From Rantanen’s pov, not that many teams like the canes who have a lot of cap space with great players already locked in to contracts. As well as a consistent team competing every year
Jarvis is way better than I ever imagined. Amazing motor, totally drives the team at times.
two things determine how serious this team is when the playoffs come:
powerplay
consistent goaltending
both of these are what have costed us the last few years, especially last year which was probably the best team in franchise history top to bottom, blowing a 3-1 lead in minutes to a rival when we had all the momentum and a reverse sweep seemed like it was about to come true
I don't think it's cup or bust, this was supposed to be an off year and a year to really get players situated with all the moves in the off season. The canes are playing above what is expected, and the trade made should only help them even more.
The Colorado Avalanche are my first & favorite team, the Hurricanes are my 2nd team because they’re in the East. Both teams started building out their defenses around the same time. I will say, Colorado’s higher end talent on defense carries them a bit further than Carolina’s and I think Colorado’s defense is better than Carolina. That said, defensively, not just offensively, I think Carolina is absolutely best in the NHL and it’s a no contest. But in the modern, while defense is important, a defense that can produce can help mitigate production from forwards and while Brent Burns is still playing decently, the Hurricanes defense is much better at preventing goals than creating them. Shayne Gostisbehere is a monster and fits super well just like he did a couple of trade deadlines ago. They could probably use a more productive defensemen, and then they’d absolutely wear the crown of best defense in the NHL, over Colorado.
The canes were good before Rantanen. Hall is extremely talented too. This is not a win now or bust. Svech, Jarvis, Ago, and Slavin are a great core signed long term.
I never thought I’d consider calling someone “a well above average coach” insulting. Brindamours literally had the best start to a career by a coach in the history of the league. Fastest to 300 wins, he’ll probably be fastest to 400 and 500 too the way they’ve got this roster built.
The canes have the top Russian D man just waiting to storm the NHL. Get ready for the BOOM!
I'm a Canes fan. This year we've been playing with house money really. We lost a lot of our main guys last summer and have exceeded expectations to the point that we're cup contenders despite playing with a lot of newer players and a few rookies, with more rookies coming next year
This is a retool year. Why tf are people all of a sudden saying cup or bust? We have Brent burns playing top minutes, and don’t have a legitimate goalie. The rantanen trade was tulsky taking a swing for a top fa because we have an insane amount of cap space. Even if we sign mikko to his $14mil a year deal we will still have plenty of cap, and not to mention Nikishin in the roster and many other prospects likely coming up. I saw our true ‘contention window’ starts next year
Next season we have Burns, Orlov, Roslovic, Hall, Anderson off the books. Projected 38.7mil cap space for signing players. Likely ~13.5 for Rantanen (that would requires an offer of 15.4 aav for any team to match), bring Alexander Nikishin to America, find a bottom six forward and third pair defensemen that fit the team, or bring in some of the great prospects! That leaves ~21.2 for a good goaltender (Hill?) and a top six forward or two (ex: Gourde, Olofsson, offer sheet Kakko).
In summation, the Canes will probably look better next season than they do now.
Ist it possible that the AVS could get mikko back next year (or in 2027?) becaus the Cap Hit gets a Raise? Cheers from a Hockey Fan from Germany!
I don’t think its cup or bust at all. Other ppl have mentioned the cap space freeing up this summer and with the likes of nikishin, morrow and nadeau waiting in the wings, have the home grown talent to fill in the gaps. Most canes fans saw this year as a bit of a retool with next year opening a new cup window. The Moose trade makes things look more urgent but honestly necas and drury both went to arbitration last summer and clearly didnt want to sign so i think the mindset in the canes front office was similar to that for the avs. Sell high now or lost them for nothing later. I also do think tolsky will over moose 14×8. Why else make the trade and he has plenty of cap for it.
Let’s Go Canes!!
All of this just to lose to the Panthers in the second or third round
Rantenen is not looking good on the canes, he simply isn't fitting right now compared to what he can do.
And anyone who is saying Rantenen is better then Necas we'll i challenge you at the end of the year to see, I guarantee he has as many points as Rants did consistently on this team.
Canes aren’t going to pay $14m for Moose. They weren’t willing to pay Guentzel $9m
