The Carolina Hurricanes had questions at second-line center heading into last season. Everyone felt that they needed to do something to address it during free agency last summer.
The Carolina Hurricanes announced today that veteran defenseman Mike Reilly has been signed to a one-year, two-way contract. The deal will be worth the league minimum of $850K at the NHL level, and will carry a salary of $450K in the AHL.
The reigning Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes are notable for the amount of continuity they are set to bring back to the ice next season, and they retained yet another depth piece on Thursday.
The fourth line rarely gets its due from any fan base. They don't generate the most buzz in the world, yet I truly believe that the Caniacs have a special love for theirs that few in the league possess.
The NHL has had an interesting new millennium. It was a league sans a salary cap when the 2000s started… and then the owners locked the players out for an entire season.
The Carolina Hurricanes announced a trio of restricted free agent signings on Wednesday. The team signed goaltender Cayden Primeau to a two-year contract, while forwards Skyler Brind’Amour and Justin Robidas were signed to one-year, two-way deals.
The Carolina Hurricanes announced today that the team has re-signed three players for the upcoming season: Justin Robidas, Cayden Primeau, and Skyler Brind’Amour.
Three months after winning the Stanley Cup, the Carolina Hurricanes are finally playing hockey again this weekend. Of course, it won't be the NHL squad taking the ice.
It has been far from the most exciting offseason from a free agency standpoint in Raleigh. They've made the odd more here and there, like the addition of Zachary Sawchenko, but nothing to really write home about.
The Carolina Hurricanes are hoping to defend their Stanley Cup title during the 2026-27 NHL season. Carolina is making a move on Tuesday to help do just that.
Throughout the “Historical Hurricanes” series, we’ve flipped through the Carolina Hurricanes’ history. From Rod Brind’Amour joining the team in 2000 and winning a Stanley Cup in 2006 to Cam Ward, the best goalie in team history, Raleigh has a ton of lore.
People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.
The Carolina Hurricanes don't have a banner history of offensive defensemen. Sure, they've had some very good ones. Justin Faulk was the gold standard for many years.
As we continue the “Forgotten Hurricanes” series, we will turn our focus to former Carolina Hurricanes netminder Kevin Weekes. While his tenure was short in Raleigh, “Shady 80” showed he could win games; unfortunately, the teams in front of him didn’t give much support.
When it comes to Carolina Hurricanes’ Brandon Bussi, the 28-year-old netminder is a household name, not only in Raleigh but in the hockey world. After spending four years in the Boston Bruins organization, he went on to make a name for himself elsewhere.
Every team has a few players who aren't superstars, but their role is integral to what they're trying to get done on and off the ice. For the Hurricanes, Jordan Martinook is at the very top of the list.
It took one season for Jackson Blake to secure a long-term contract with the Carolina Hurricanes, inking an eight-year deal last summer. He'd put up good numbers during his rookie season, and the team saw more than enough to give him an extension with one season left on his entry-level contract.
Throughout the “dark ages” of Carolina Hurricanes hockey from 2009-10 to 2017-18, many players fell short of expectations. Some could attribute it to terrible rosters, roster management, setting players up for failure, and a multitude of other reasons.
The Carolina Hurricanes boast some of the best depth in the league, and their fourth line is a major reason for that. Sure, they might not have some of the biggest names, but they are great fits for what the Canes are doing.
In a year full of big performances, Sean Walker largely flew under the radar. The second-year Hurricane had a rough go of it during his first season with the Canes, but things turned around for him once he got acclimated to the system.
As we head into the first weekend of September, the first installment of Hurricanes News & Rumors will begin with the Carolina Hurricanes making a plethora of announcements this past week.
As we head into the first weekend of September, there are only 25 days until opening night for the Carolina Hurricanes. The defending Stanley Cup champions, for the first time in 20 years, will be the defenders, not the chasers.
After years of knocking on the door, the Carolina Hurricanes finally broke through and won the Stanley Cup, erasing all narratives about their 1-16 record in their previous four appearances in the Eastern Conference Final on a dominant run through the postseason that saw them drop just three games along the way.
The Carolina Hurricanes enter the 2026–27 season as defending Stanley Cup champions with a largely intact roster, prioritizing continuity over major changes.
The Carolina Hurricanes enter the 2026–27 season as defending Stanley Cup champions with a largely intact roster, prioritizing continuity over major changes.
Brandon Bussi played four times during the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs. All four appearances came in the Final. Now, he may enter next season as the Hurricanes’ top goaltender.
The Carolina Hurricanes may have to decide whether their promising young defenseman is more valuable on the roster or at the center of a much larger trade.
