The Carolina Hurricanes currently have 5 roster players slated to be unrestricted free agents on July 1st. Should any of them be re-signed?

It’s never too early to start looking into the future, and the Carolina Hurricanes are surely doing that internally, as they have 5 current roster players (including Anton Forsberg) set to hit the open market on July 1, 2020.

Obviously, the five guys in question have varying degrees of importance to the team, as well as varying degrees of potential market value, which could complicate things, should the team want any of their guys back.

I obviously can’t speak for the team, but in this article we’ll look at the importance of each player to the team, their potential value ($$$) on the free-agent market, as well as the likelihood of each guy being re-signed by the team. Sit back and enjoy.
