Digityman Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Both the Charlotte Checkers (AHL) and Florida Everblades (ECHL) are leading their leagues. Great news for the Hurricanes.

Great news for the Hurricanes. Sounds very impressive results. Both teams having the most points in their leagues (70 and 69 respectively). It seems now is a time for the big club also to show their ability to get a playoffs spot this season. I think they are capable of that effort. 9 years already without playoffs seasons is a pretty long drought. Quote
Alexandron Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Both teams clinched the best positions during the regular season in their leagues. Charlotte Checkers had a 1st place in AHL with 110 points(51 wins out of 76 games) and Florida Everblades had a 2nd place in ECHL with 106 points (50 wins out of 72 games). Definitely a big Carolina club Hurricanes has a nice promising potential in their young prospects. Quote
OccamsRazor Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 @pilldoc @hf101 The Hurricanes dealt prospect Adam Fox to the Rangers for a second-round pick this year and a conditional third-round pick in 2020. https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/video/lebrun-trading-fox-hurts-for-the-hurricanes~1671565 So the GMs want to make a change to the CBA where if the team makes a qualifying offer the team will hold the prospect rights forever. Now i agree with this part. I don't think it will be forever but it needs to be a few years after they leave school. They fix this and you will see team maybe start to take this kids with higher draft picks knowing they are protected some what. Thoughts on this subject with college prospects. Not sure if this subject needs to have it's own topic. I would like to see it changed. Quote

Alexandron Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Congratulations to the Carolina organization as well as to the Charlotte Checkers organization and their fans for the winning yesterday their first Calder Cup title!!! against Chicago Wolves team which my Iowa Wild team was not able to pass in a Central Division playoffs finals. Especially I am impressed for the event that the number#1 team(right from the beginning) during this regular season(51 wins;and the most 110 points) Charlotte Checkers have got that Cup this 2018-2019 season. Usually, that not happening very often because it is a very rare event in a professional hockey. Like I said before the Carolina organization having a solid potential in their young prospects these days so far. Also would like to mention that their young team is very successful and competitive at the Traverse City tournament for years too. I am still thinking if the Carolina Hurricanes or Tampa Bay Lightnings had a goalies like Tuuka Rask or Binnington then both teams would be much more successful during the Stanley Cup playoffs this season.

yave1964 Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 Charlotte is now Florida's farm club NOT Carolina. Carolina moved their AHL affiliate to Chicao a few years ago, even winning a Calder Trophy a year ago. As for Carolina prospects, it begins with Pyotr Kochetkov, the hot goalie who held the team together when both the NHL tenders got hurt at around the same time. Raanta and Andersen are both free agents and unlikely to return, Kochetkov now owns the net on a top tier team and should be a great fantasy asset and will be a solidgoalie behind a very underrated defense. Really, among their skaters i dont see a hell of a lot that is NHL caliber, the leading scorer was 28 year old Stromwall who will never be an NHL player. Max Lajoie is a 24 year old puck mover but deficient defensivley. Pomonarev may play middle six winger role, likely third line. Ryan Suzuki, the team is high on hm as a furure center but I look at him and see 4th liner, 3rd line at best. Jack Drury has failed in a couple of shots with the big club but has talent, may make it as a second line second power play winger, should stick next season and given every chance to claim a role. Jamisen Reese is a nasty piece of work and might stick as a 4th line center with grit and can occasionally sneak a goal in. So a great goalie prospect who has just signed a 4 year deal and a wide open net for him to claim, three or four guys who might make it as warm bodies in limited roles and Drury who might be a 2nd liner of the world breaks right. Honestly, not a lot of there there if you know what i mean. Quote

Brewin Flames Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 Top prospects for Carolina Hurricanes Nikishin could be in NHL by end of this season; Nadeau likely to begin in AHL © Ben Jackson/NHLI via Getty Images ByTom Gulitti @TomGulittiNHL NHL.com Staff Writer August 05, 2024 NHL.com is providing in-depth roster, prospect and fantasy analysis for each of its 32 teams from Aug. 1-Sept. 1. Today, the top five prospects for the Carolina Hurricanes, according to NHL.com. 1. Alexander Nikishin, D How acquired: Selected with No. 69 pick in 2020 NHL Draft 2023-24 season: SKA St. Petersburg (KHL): 67 GP, 17-39-56 After Nikishin led the Kontinental Hockey League in points among defenseman for the second straight season, the Hurricanes are excited about the possibility of the 22-year-old joining them at the end of this season. Nikishin (6-foot-3, 196 pounds) is in the final year of his contract with SKA St. Petersburg and Carolina anticipates him stepping directly into its lineup after his KHL season ends. “As soon as his contract ends, we expect him to come over and hit our lineup and provide us a boost right away,” general manager Eric Tulsky said. Nikishin’s offensive numbers jump out, but the Hurricanes view him as a well-rounded defenseman. “He’s able to create on his own, he’s able to make others better and he’s one of the hardest players to play against,” assistant GM Darren Yorke said. “So, you’re really looking at a unicorn of defensemen.” Projected NHL arrival: This season 2. Bradly Nadeau, F How acquired: Selected with No. 30 pick in 2023 NHL Draft 2023-24 season: Carolina (NHL): 1 GP, 0-0-0; University of Maine (NCAA): 37 GP, 19-27-46 Nadeau had no issues jumping from Penticton of the British Columbia Hockey League (Junior A) in 2022-23 to leading Maine in points last season before turning pro and making his NHL debut with Carolina on April 16. The 19-year-old will compete in training camp to make another big leap into the Hurricanes lineup. Although Nadeau (5-10, 161) probably needs some seasoning with Chicago of the American Hockey League, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him play NHL games this season. “Everything that he’s done since he’s been drafted screams NHL quality,” Yorke said. “Now, it’s up to him to sort of take the ball here with the opportunities that will come from rookie tournament and preseason games to go out and earn a job.” Projected NHL arrival: This season 3. Scott Morrow, D How acquired: Selected with No. 40 pick in 2021 NHL Draft 2023-24 season: Carolina (NHL): 2 GP, 0-0-0; University of Massachusetts (NCAA): 37 GP, 6-24-30 Like Nadeau, Morrow got his first taste of the NHL at the end of last season when he turned pro after leading UMass in points during his junior year. Morrow (6-2, 195) will get a chance to show what he can do during training camp, but the Hurricanes have six NHL defensemen signed, so, unless there is an injury, it will be a challenge for the 21-year-old to push his way into the opening night lineup. Projected NHL arrival: This season 4. Jackson Blake, F How acquired: Selected with No. 109 pick in 2021 NHL Draft 2023-24 season: Carolina (NHL): 1 GP: 0-0-0; University of North Dakota (NCAA): 40 GP, 22-38-60 Another player who turned pro at the end of last season, Blake is in a similar position to Nadeau and Morrow. The 21-year-old will get an opportunity in training camp to demonstrate if he’s NHL ready but might need some time in the AHL. Blake (5-10, 173) led North Dakota in goals, assists, and points last season and, like his father, former NHL forward Jason Blake (5-10, 190), has had no issues so far proving his lack of size isn’t an issue. “He’s been amazing with putting extra work in over the years to continue to get strength,” Yorke said. “He’s added 10 pounds in the last year. He’s put a lot of work in to put himself in the best position possible to make the NHL.” Projected NHL arrival: This season 5. Felix Unger Sorum, F How acquired: Selected with No. 62 pick in 2023 NHL Draft 2023-24 season: Leksands (SHL): 35 GP: 3-12-15; Leksands J20 (J20 Nationell): 1 GP, 2-2-4 Unger Sorum followed a strong first training camp with the Hurricanes last September by not looking out of place last season playing against men in the Swedish Hockey League. The 18-year-old also earned invites to represent Sweden in the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship, where he had six points (one goal, five assists) in seven games, and 2024 IIHF World Championship, where he had no points in two games. Unger Sorum (5-11, 170) will shift to playing in North America this season, which will likely require some time for adjustment in the AHL. Projected NHL arrival: Next season Quote
