The Carolina Hurricanes are defending their Stanley Cup title, but training camp is full of tough decisions. Brandon Bussi and Pyotr Kochetkov are battling for the starting goalie job, while the forward group is so deep that some talented players might not make the roster. We break down every position battle and predict who gets cut.

On today's episode, we analyze the crease competition between Bussi and Kochetkov, plus Amir Miftakhov's role. Then we dive into the forward logjam featuring Sebastian Aho, Seth Jarvis, Andrei Svechnikov, Nikolaj Ehlers, Taylor Hall, Logan Stankoven, and more. We also examine the new-look blue line with Jaccob Slavin, Shayne Gostisbehere, K'Andre Miller, and Alexander Nikishin. Finally, we make our roster predictions for the season opener against the Florida Panthers on September 29th.

Tune in for our bold takes on who's trending up, who's on the bubble, and which veteran might be the odd man out. We also revisit our prediction that Bussi will shine on banner night and Stankoven will have a breakout season. Don't miss this packed episode of Beatline.
