The New Jersey Devils are trying to make their NHL team better. The rebuild has been going on for years, and they came up with a lot of good prospects. Meanwhile, the Carolina Hurricanes went through their own rebuild, and it helped them become a true Stanley Cup contender. The only reason they didn’t make it further is they faced the buzzsaw that was the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Hurricanes just re-upped their head coach Rod Brind’Amour and his entire staff.
