This was good work by the Hurricanes. Ehlers should quickly become a crowd favorite.

Still doubt their center depth. Kotkaniemi as their 2nd line center and aiging Staal I feel that it's just not enough. And yeah their goalies aren't as excellent as other top teams in the east.
Carolina must address their second line center, either internally or by acquisition.
Trade Blake/Nadeau/Ghost/two 1sts for Crosby and Karlsson
Carolina really needs nro 2 center. Kotkaniemi is barely good enough for the third spot in a contender team
I feel like they could use a 2C. I see KK and Staal more as 3rd liners… Ironically Roslovic might be a good fit
Great move for the Canes
As a dane, I am super excited about this signing. To see Andersen and Ehlers on the same team, this is fantastic.
Can I just say that I so appreciate your fair coverage of every team in this league. As a Canes fan, it's easy to feel like we catch a couple strays here and there. But you always do a great job covering the team and pointing out our flaws that are legitimate. Thanks for the great content!
I'd love to see kotkaniemi traded for jj peterka, offer to keep 1m and give a 6th 2026 and a 2nd 2027 pick.
Also, I'd like to see miftahkov used to trade for merzlinkins somehow. I dont like goalie stability today. If they could add a stronger piece here it would help
Where is Aho in his contract? They need to extend his asap to stick around w the rest of them!
Go Canes!
canes fans enjoy Fly's speed! from jets fan
I would add a true 2nd line C but not spend all the way up to the cap.
The most glaring weakness of Hurricanes is definitely 2C spot. Kotkaniemi didn't progress like they hoped he would. They have been trying with this center core for years. They have to change it this summer or at least in the deadline.
He’s had one full season in his last 7. At 29 years old making 8.5 for 6 more years, I don’t know, seems risky to me but he is a hell of a player when healthy. I think at 7.5 would’ve been a better contract for the Canes
Sabres’ team and their fans: We still have the cap space to do more, lots more.
Pegula: No, let’s do less again.
They lost Burns
how Carolina with such playoff fringe roster performs that good-I don't know, Brindamour magic ?
Taylor Hall has to end up with a journeyman video, his movement around the league.
Need a 2C, some defensive depth and maybe a goalie
That line up vs the big teams out round 1 or 2
We need a solid goaltending tandem. Primuea and the Russian kid we just got are not it (yet). Aside from that I would unload KK and go after Hertl.
Love to see trade with Buffalo- Tage Thompson (C) . Going to take a top 6 player with term, maybe a top prospect and a quality draft pick to get their attention.
Absolutely insane that Ehlers made more than Bennett. You could liken Ehlers to a VERY poor man's version of Marner, but not as good defensively either.
Lol let's face it, Carolina is starting to look the the Devils from a few years back. Bottom 6 continues getting worse. Defense got worse. Gonna be fully reliant on Rod and his system yet again, with no true game breaker. Ehlers ain't it lol.
I feel like Ehlers is overrated. I know i'm being a hater and maybe because I dont watch alot of Jets games is why I feel this way. But hey Carolina gotta pay to get guys to go there.
Still need to fix your audio. Your voice is distorting when your loud
Carolina definitely still needs a 2C. Seems like a lot of teams do though and idk how much is out there for that role.

Appreciate your no nonsense approach
Would love to keep Jankowski
It's nice to buck the ridiculous narrative that "nobody wants to play in Carolina."
Go out and get a center
i would keep my eyes peeled for a mason mctavish offer sheet. the canes are clearly desperate for a 2C, and they could offer 8.5×7 for mctavish and anaheim may not match it. mctavish is a player they can afford to lose especially after drafting a center in roger mcqueen
Goaltending has been a low-key question mark for years now. Andersen looks like The Guy when he's on, but he's sometimes just…not.
We still need a 2C!!!
We need a 2C are it will end badly again, KK is not it.
Goaltending is still the biggest flaw in the Canes, same as last year. Canes are looking to move KK before the season starts.
Hopefully our pk is better this year
Hearing the rumour that he didn't want to sign with a Canadian team surprised me. Nikolaj is one of the first players that I would have guessed to be happy playing Canada. That being said, I could totally see him wanting to play for Carolina, I thought Montreal and staying in Winnipeg would be the other top teams on his list
Would love to see them rock this D pair for most of the regular season, get Nikishin a lot of PT, get a big ticket RD at the deadline and kick ghost back to left & Nikishin to 7D for playoffs. I just don’t think Walker and Chatfield is an Ideal top 2 on that right side, would really love to see us add a 1RD and a 2 or 3 C
Canes still needs a 2c, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t take their time getting one
Now the Canes have to sign Laine
I see them trading KK and finding a 2C that can produce. Get that and theyll be dangerous this season
Team isn’t complete until we get a 2C, with the cap/trade assets they have to go make a move to replace Jespari
