Players like Hamilton, Lindholm and Hanifin are all key players on other rosters. Meanwhile the Hurricanes seems to be built through drafting and development and playing a strong team game.

They are one of the best teams at finding hidden value and setting boundaries on free agent contracts.

Conference finalist - perhaps more - with a surplus of draft picks in the next two drafts and $25 million in offseason cap space (Staal, Fast, Stastny, Gostisbehere, De Haan, Andersen, Raanta). Impressive.

Ready to adopt Carolina as my second team if Edmonton did actually make it to the finals to face and lose to them again.
It would be poetic, the last time Canes eliminate them Brind'Amour was the captain and this time around Brind'Amour is the coach. But I don't want them to have a chance to be embarrassed by the Canes again. I want them out in second round.

Would make for an interesting trivia question. Which person beat the Oilers in the Stanley Cup finals three times, once as a player, once as a coach and once as a GM?

That’s a team not afraid to trade its players for picks or projects. And doesn’t seem like they go out of their way to use up all their cap space.
And a demanding coach who deploys a system that doesn’t emphasize big offensive numbers.
