It is no secret the Carolina Hurricanes have one vital weakness, and that is between the pipes. Just what can they do to fix it?

The Carolina Hurricanes need a goalie. Urgently.

Petr Mrazek has been known to underperform, and James Reimer has shown himself to be shaky. Don’t let the back to back shutouts over Arizona and Los Angeles fool you.

Mrazek has a .907 save percentage, and Reimer let 3 bad goals in against Philly, yet the Canes still won. This group of skaters has been bailing the goalies out again and again.

So what are the possible trade partners for Carolina to fix their goaltender issues? There’s not a lot of possible goalies on the market since there are only roughly 62 goalies in the NHL at any one time, so the realistic possibility of getting a goalie like this is slim to none, so please take it with a grain of salt. All of these targets are either pending UFAs or stuck on bad teams.
