The Carolina Hurricanes made quite a few moves to bolster their roster this off season. All these moves could be leading to another run at the Stanley Cup.

A lot of work goes into a team winning the Stanley Cup. That’s why it’s the hardest trophy to win in all of sports. The Blues just won their first in franchise history after being around since 1967. And the Carolina Hurricanes were on the verge of winning their second.

Last season the Carolina Hurricanes went from second to last in the NHL all the way to the Eastern Conference final. This off-season the team added quite a few new pieces, as well as resigning key players to ensure that the success of the 2018-2019 season wasn’t just a flash in the pan.

In fact, all these moves could be showing us that they could be on the cusp of making a run at raising another Stanley Cup. We all remember this sight in 2006.

And we could very well be seeing it in 2020. Starting with the first Carolina Hurricane to hoist the Stanley Cup.
