Carolina Hurricane's - Halfway - PLAYOFFS!!

YEs you read the title right! How the hell this crippled and deformed team made it here is beyond me but here we are. We finished 2nd in the Metro with a record of 46-32-4 (96 Points / 5th in East Conference).

Absolutely stunned, and to top it all... Jeff Skinner, SCHOOLS the NHL with 50 goals in the season dwarfing Ovechkin's measly 43 (2nd). And in the first round we have the CBJ!!

Stanley Cup Playoffs:

CAR Win - 3-1
CAR Win - 2-1
CAR Win - 4-3... Say it isn't so...
CBJ Win - 3-2...
CBJ Win - 3-2
CBJ Win - 1-0... You are kidding me. May as well not have qualified if we are going to do this!!
CBJ Win - 3-0 FFS! Carolina imploded and **** the bed. 3-0 up and then lose in 7. Whatever.

So we lose to Columbus in 7 games, that makes them a rival for us to go after. So sim up nice and quick to the next draft and see who I want to go after! And shock and horror, the Ottawa Senators are your Stanley Cup Champions!! This GM Mode is wild guys!

Looked through the Prospect report and noted on a few guys that I like the look of.
As another note we already have 20 Mil cap space to spend this year.
Bobby Robins plays one season with us and retires. He was only 33, whatever.

Carolina Pre-Draft
Pick	Team	Player	Pos	Ht	Wt
4		Travis Konecny - PLY	C
6		Jeremy Roy - OFD	D
9		Oliver Kylington - OFD	D
13		Blake Clarke - PLY	LW
36		Daniel Sprong - SNP	RW

It looks like we will fall short again, 4 of the 5 here would be nice but I don't think that will happen either. To make matters worse, we have picks 19 / 20 / 22. FFS.

Carolina Draft 2014
Pick	Team	Player	Pos	Ht	Wt
19	Carolina	Sam Harding - TWF	C
20	Carolina	Grayson Pawlenchuk - SNP	LW
22	Carolina	Ethan Price - SNP	RW
46	Carolina	Jason Bell - OFD	D

What a disaster. Naturally the team is named after a natural disaster but this is much worse IMO!...

Harding and Pawlenchuk are 3.5 Yellow Stars thankfully but thats where the excitement ends. Resign stage!

Goalies: No one to tend to.

Defense: J. Harrison is gone, M. Pysyk is re-signed for 3.

RW: P. Dwyer is gone.

LW: Z. Boychuk is 84 overall now, he did have first line minutes. So he is re-signed and D. Bowman as well. Pawlenchuk is given rookie contract.

C: M. Grigorenko is given 2 years, Loktionov is given 1 year, asking a lot but at 81 overall Im not buying his massive increase. Harding offered contract.

So now we hit FA with a cool 23 Million to spend. Bombshell. Double. Bombshell.
J. Toews AND P. Kane are in Free Agency this year!!! Apart from those two, FA is once again lacking any quality players to help this team.
