Ten consecutive years without playoff hockey, That would be quite the statistic, and one that no-one in Raleigh wants for our Carolina Hurricanes – fans, players and management alike are all saying that this has to be the year we break our duck. So, how can we do that? We play in a highly-competitive Metropolitan Division, where the likes of Washington and Pittsburgh routinely rack up high-scoring games and wins.
This is a team that sits just four points off league-bottom – that’s right, four points – and so if management is serious about avoiding the shame of that unwanted playoff drought record, these are three trades that we feel have to be made to make the Carolina Hurricanes more competitive.
