Ever wondered how a team rebuilds after losing key players? Join Erin Manning, Katie Bartlett, and myself, Tom Ray, as we unpack the Carolina Hurricanes' tumultuous offseason and the strategic maneuvers of their new general manager, Eric Tulsky. Learn how the Canes managed the exits of essential players like Jake Guentzel, Brett Pesce, Brady Skjei, and Teuvo Teravainen, while successfully extending the contracts of Jordan Martinook and Jalen Chatfield. We provide an inside look into Tulsky's approach to free agency, bringing back Shane Gostisbehere and signing fresh talent like Sean Walker, Jack Roslovic, and William Carrier. Plus, delve into Erin and Katie's personal stories of how they became die-hard Hurricanes fans.
Curious about the behind-the-scenes intricacies of player deals? Discover the complexities of Seth Jarvis's contract extension and the ripple effects it has on the team's dynamics. We discuss Eric Tulsky's meticulous planning and how his adaptability during a transitional period has earned him the respect of players, including Andrei Svechnikov. We also cover the Hurricanes' preparedness for various scenarios, strategic moves in free agency and the draft, and the passionate, competitive spirit of goaltender Kochekov, who could be the next Patrick Roy.
