Hurricanes Defense Spending Video Summary (TLDW) What does each team pay their defensemen? Vegas is on top at $41 million. New Jersey, the Rangers, the Wild, LA, and Washington all sit in the mid-30s. Carolina is 27th. Only five teams spend less: Vancouver, Anaheim, Detroit, Calgary, and Chicago. That’
Brent Burns has not missed an NHL game since November 21, 2013. Think about what you were doing that month. Whatever it was, he's played every game his team has played since then. Three organizations, twelve and a half years, 1,007 straight and counting. He enters this
Seth Jarvis had surgery in June to repair the torn labrum and rotator cuff he's been playing through since 2023-24. Tulsky said four to six months. Best case that's late October. Worst case it's January. That's the leading goal scorer on
On November 6, 2025, Jordan Staal stepped onto the ice at Lenovo Center against Minnesota and became the Carolina Hurricanes' all-time leader in games played. Game 910. More than anyone has played in this sweater since the franchise came south in 1997. Then he got in a fight
Amir Miftakhov signed a two-year deal with the Shanghai Dragons last week. He spent last season in our system with the Chicago Wolves and never got a call-up, so this is a reasonable move for a 26-year-old goalie who was very good in the KHL before
Every team in the league gets the same seven rounds. Same pool of kids, same scouts sitting in the same rinks in Sweden and Saskatchewan watching the same games. Carolina's two best homegrown players came off the board at 35 and 120. That's the whole story
Every Canes fan has a version of 2009 they've made peace with. Mine took about fifteen years. That team had no business being where it was. They beat New Jersey in seven, on the road, on a goal with 32 seconds left in Game 7. Then they beat
Raleigh is not a hockey town in the way Thunder Bay is a hockey town. There's no youth pipeline going back generations here, no ponds, no dad who played junior. The Hurricanes showed up in 1997 and everything about hockey in this city started from zero. So the
Every franchise has a couple of these. A backup who got hot. A guy who stood on his head for two weeks in April. Carolina has four, and two of them are the strangest goaltending stories in the entire sport. I don't think that's a coincidence
The Athletic ran a fan survey asking who wins the Cup in 2027. Nineteen thousand people answered. Colorado got 26 percent. Florida got 21. Carolina, the defending champion, got 12. And the tweet promoting it opened by calling the Avalanche by far the most dominant team in the NHL last
Ten years ago in Buffalo, Ron Francis walked to the podium with the 13th pick and took a defenseman named Jake Bean. Carolina had drafted Haydn Fleury seventh overall in 2014. Noah Hanifin fifth overall in 2015. Both left-handed defensemen. Everybody assumed 2016 was the year they finally took
NHL Network put out their top 20 wings in hockey on Sunday. It's the first of a nine-part series, so there's more coming, and I'm sure the centers and defensemen lists will have Canes on them. But there are no Hurricanes on this
