There’s still one game left in the 2018-19 NHL season, with the Bruins and Blues set to square off in a winner-take-all game seven Wednesday night, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to take a look at what the 2019-20 edition of the Carolina Hurricanes may look like.
Over the next two days, I’m going to run a two-part series looking at what holes the Canes will be looking to fill when NHL free agency opens on July 1, and what options they’ll have for filling them in terms of both external free agents and internal promotions from the Calder Cup Champion Charlotte Checkers.
