Carolina is kinda crazy when you look at it. They missed the playoffs 9 straight years (and 11/12 since winning the cup) before making the Hamilton trade.
That trade was kinda like if we traded Monahan and Bennett coming off their ELCs for 3 years of a really good young player and some spare parts.
It feels like CAR has been relevant for more than 5 years (really only a contender 3 years). They've won 6 rounds in those 5 years and made the Conf Finals twice, but got swept both times.
