The Carolina Hurricanes have a lot of room for improvement despite competing for the President’s Trophy a majority of the season, alongside finishing with the 3rd most points in the league. The Hurricanes far exceeded expectations in the 2020-2021 season after finishing 4th in the Metropolitan division and losing in the 1st round in the 2019-2020 season.
Now that the Hurricanes have exceeded expectations, there will be new expectations for the Canes going into the 2021-2022 season.
