With the Carolina Hurricanes currently sitting atop the Metro Division and firmly in the midst of one of their strongest seasons in franchise history, expectations are running at an all-time high through the fanbase. Combine the success with an untimely four-game losing streak leading into the trade deadline, and naturally a large portion of Canes faithful became hungry for a transaction in order to boost the current group as the team heads into a fourth straight playoff run.
Sometimes, not making a move is the best move, as only one team can win the Stanley Cup and, therefore, you have multiple teams each year purging future assets on rental players just to flame out in the playoffs anyway.
