We decided to compile the best Carolina Hurricanes players in one handy list. I’m sure there will be nothing to argue about.
How did you get up there Sebastian Aho? You’re not a top ten player…yet. It’s been almost twenty years since the Hartford Whalers relocated to Raleigh, NC and became the Carolina Hurricanes. And while the team’s history may not be as long as an original six team, there are still a lot of great stories to tell during the franchise’s short existence. Some success and a whole lot of heartbreak leads to the Hurricanes having a motley crew for most of its tenure in the NHL
Given the emergence of a lot of young talent on the team, some of these names could be shuffled down the line very soon. So I figured I’d compile a list and see who would be the top players in Hurricanes history. Of course, there will be some obvious names on the list, and some maybe not so obvious depending on who you ask.
And before you start yelling at me let’s set some guidelines first. There will be a lot of factors determining who’s on the list, but the number one factor will be talent. Number two will be the length of time on the team. I mean Paul Coffey was a great defenseman, but only played two seasons for the Hurricanes so he doesn’t make the cut. If the player didn’t play four seasons or more with the team they won’t make the list either. Ok onto the list!
