Hurricanes Should Add James van Riemsdyk to 2024-25 Roster
August 6, 2024 by Zach Martin
As the days roll on, NHLers continue to find new homes for the 2024-25 NHL season. The Carolina Hurricanes have seen huge changes this offseason with the departures of Brady Skjei, Brett Pesce, and others. However, management replaced them just as quickly with Shayne Gostisbehere and Sean Walker.
While the defense seems pretty much locked in with their top six and possible seventh defenseman, the offense still has question marks. On July 29, the Hurricanes signed Martin Necas to a two-year extension, and they are still in talks with Seth Jarvis on an upcoming extension. Despite all that, there are still one or two spots potentially up for grabs.
