I was out for the past week due to my honeymoon and missed the June 1 deadline to sign prospects. The Carolina Hurricanes did not sign Lenni Killinen by the deadline, so he has now become a UFA and is free to sign anywhere he chooses. Killinen had already signed a new deal with a club in Finland, so it wasn’t much of a surprise that the Hurricanes decided to let him go.
That got me thinking about which prospects the Hurricanes need to sign by June 1 or August 15 next season in order to keep them in the pipeline.
