Well, we've already seen one major change in the long-term signing of Darling. For the first time in 10 years, the Hurricanes are going to have a vastly different look in net - that's a big deal and a major change.
I think it's a good possibility more changes are on the way, and rightfully so. The Hurricanes are still looking to get back into the playoffs for the first time since 2009; keeping things mostly the same clearly isn't the answer. But that's not to say the talented, young core the Canes have assembled over the last few years is going anywhere. Executive Vice President and General Manager Ron Francis and his staff have committed to the process by cultivating talent in this organization through the draft and building from the defense out.
So, yeah, I think you're going to see more changes, major or otherwise, to this team over the summer. The expansion draft plays a role in that. The amount of cap space the Hurricanes will have plays a role in that. The position in which the team finds itself plays a role in that. All of this is by design, building towards a product that is competitive each and every season.
