Carolina Hurricanes fans are certainly used to offseason questions about the goaltending, but the questions heading into the 2021-22 season are a little different than those of late 2010s.
The Canes have found their guy in Alex Nedeljkovic, a long-time member of the organization who finally got his extended NHL chance in 2021 and made the absolute most of it. Nedeljkovic, who was a Calder Trophy finalist this past season, took over the top spot in Carolina’s crease, earning almost every start from Rod Brind’Amour in the postseason.
Nedeljkovic is a restricted free agent, but one the Hurricanes will be re-signing.
