Description

Met a weird lady in an alley, said she could show me anything I wanted in her crystal ball. I said show me the Hurricanes 2024 offseason plans. This is what I saw. Right shot center market was dry unless you were willing to overpay Elias Lindholm or Jack Rosolovic. The trade market was even worse. They get a right shot center, but for their 4th line.

Markstrom for a 2nd and 6th, Necas and Andersson swap.

Nikishin is signed by Carolina the night before the draft, shocking Canes fans after Elliotte Friedman had reported he would be staying in Russia indefinitely.

Defensemen Sebastian Aho signs with the Canes to form an unstoppable force that announcers everywhere hate.
