2026 Hurricanes Off Season Thread

I’m from New Orleans and that city can manage crowds like it’s nobody’s business. No way they would have had the mess the NYPD managed the Knicks parade and Raleigh looks like it’s still having growing pains and messaging issues.

As much as I’m so happy for the team (players, coaches, front office, support staff), their families and the fans and city, I’ll be comfortable watching from home.

Fun time in Raleighwood today! Huge crowd and beautiful weather. The speeches were pretty wild, but man - and I'm no prude, but the F word was flying freely in most of them, despite lots of kids in the plaza. Showing my age, I guess.
 
Deslauriers signs a 2 year extension on stage
Puckpedia already has it … lol

2 years at $875K AAV. Fine, I guess. The guys loved having him in the room and I guess it’s generally useful to have a pair of fists around. Otherwise he doesn’t add much and I’m not sure how much he’ll end up playing. I guess they can schedule him for the inevitable Carrier injury time off
