First off, I will preface this whole article by stating that it is written with the on-ice talents of Mike Hoffman, and only the on-ice talents of Mike Hoffman, being considered. The Carolina Hurricanes would benefit from adding a goal scorer of his obvious talent and any off-ice considerations are not part of our prognostications.
With talks of the Carolina Hurricanes possibly making a trade at the deadline seemingly dissipating almost completely, there are still some needs that I believe this team needs to address. My opinion is that the top need for the club remains a top six pure goal scorer.
