The Carolina Hurricanes did address their top-six winger and defenseman needs during the first week of free agency. However, there are still rumblings that the Hurricanes may need to resolve their second-line center situation. If they don't go with Jesperi Kotkaniemi, who internally on the roster can replace him at 2C? On the Tuesday Edition of Locked On Hurricanes, host Zach Martin begins the show by sharing his thoughts on three possible internal options the Hurricanes could pursue for their 2C spot. The first player, Logan Stankoven. Could the former WHL player make a move back to center after playing that in juniors? Secondly, Zach goes over why Seth Jarvis is another possible option at 2C. He has taken faceoffs recently for Rod Brind'Amour. Could he potentially see some time there? Finally, Zach plays devil's advocate by stating the third option is still Kotkaniemi if the Hurricanes feel like he is the option as of now, going into the 2025-26 season. Does it make sense to go back to him again? All of that, and more, on the latest episode of Locked On Hurricanes.

#carolinahurricanes #raiseup #nhl #nationalhockeyleague

The 2025 Free Agency & Re-Sign Phase for the NHL is finally here. The biggest day in the offseason always brings chaos, and July 1, 2025, will be no different.

On the Tuesday Free Agency Edition of Locked On Hurricanes, host Zach Martin begins the show by diving into the current cap space situation for the Hurricanes as they sit at $26.715 million to begin free agency. How do the Hurricanes look to set themselves up for a pretty big Day 1 of free agency? Secondly, who are the current top targets for the Hurricanes after some extensions were made on June 30 before the start of July 1? Does it make sense to go after Nikolaj Ehlers and/or Pius Suter? Could there be others to possibly sign? Finally, with the 2025 free agency class being weaker pre-July 1, could the real goal be to make a bigger run on July 1, 2026? All of that, and more, on the latest episode of Locked On Hurricanes.

The Carolina Hurricanes extended Finnish forward Juha Jääskä to a two-year deal. What does this mean for both sides? Why is this a win-win deal? On the Friday Edition of Locked On Hurricanes, host Zach Martin begins the show by diving into the Juha Jääskä extension and explaining why it's a great deal for both sides.

Secondly, Zach previews the NHL Draft one final time as Day 1 of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft is on Friday, June 27. Do the Hurricanes keep all of their picks, or could there be trades involved? Lastly, will the Hurricanes stay at the 29th overall pick, or will it be traded away? If not, why does Cole McKinney make sense at 29?
