"New to the team for the upcoming season are forward Nikolaj Ehlers, defenseman K'Andre Miller, and goaltender Cayden Primeau. Ehlers gives the top six a significant boost in terms of offense and speed. He combines both scoring chances for himself and teammates and creates something out of nothing because he is dangerous without the puck. Last season with teh Winnipeg Jets he produced 24 goals and 39 assists for 63 points in 68 games."
"Miller will make an impact on the defense regardless of whether he is on a regular shift or penalty kill. He is a difference maker as his defense is his calling card but he can supply offense now and then. He previously played with the New York Rangers but moved to Carolina for a better chance at winning a Stanley Cup."
"Goaltender Primeau was added for insurance between the pipes but can offer the odd start. Is he is not the backup in Carolina he could be used as a starter or backup with the Hurricanes American Hockey League affiliate, the Chicago Wolves. Still young and developing, he is due for a breakout season. Last season, Primeau went 2-3-1 with a 4.70 goals against average and a .836 save percentage with Montreal."
The Carolina Hurricanes pursued a deeper playoff run and a Stanley Cup with major offseason additions. Forward Nikolaj Ehlers brings speed and playmaking, producing 24 goals and 39 assists for 63 points in 68 games before signing a six-year, $51 million contract. Defenseman K'Andre Miller adds defensive strength and occasional offense, totaling seven goals and 20 assists for 27 points in 74 games before signing an eight-year, $60 million deal. Goaltender Cayden Primeau provides depth and potential starts after posting a 2-3-1 record with a 4.70 GAA and .836 save percentage and signing a one-year, $775,000 contract.
