Canes are the smartest guys in the room imo.

I think they are a model franchise - they tend to be good year after year. I'd want them to go all in on Hellebuyck for example. They need a goalie to stand of his head to win a cup imo. Goaltending is average being propped up by good team defense.

Yet they can’t get past the 2nd round more than once

That’s great how close are they to actually winning a cup? How many deep playoff runs?

Hasn’t turned into any championships so it’s hard to praise the strategy

You must be talking about the Oilers. Because the hurricanes have gotten to the ECF twice in the last 5 years, winning 7 playoff series in that span.
What Carolina really needs are a few game breakers beyond Aho. Everything else is there. Just one or two more ppg kinda guys who can keep the scoring alive in those grinding playoff battles.

And they have never been close to winning a single Cup. Edmonton atleast has had a legit chance a few times but ran into the eventual Cup winner. Carolina is a RS juggernaut and that’s about it. Paper tigers.

Swept both times though…
Either way, their recent playoff history doesn’t have anything to do with their draft pick accumulating as the only guy from 2019 onwards who is a regular is Seth Jarvis (13th overall).
It all depends on how these picks turn out.

With that defense and goaltending Edmonton hasn’t had a legit chance anymore than Carolina. What an insane take.

Go ahead and ignore the fact that you were already wrong. But the Hurricanes have been just as close to the Oilers, and they've done it twice.

This is a terrible argument.
As for the rest of it, people who live in glass houses shouldn't undress, or something.

I'd rather have a cup but if they do win one, I'd bet on that organization to sustain it. Smart smart franchise, but sometimes you need guts more than brain.

I always love their drafts, but to be honest not that many of those awesome picks ever seem to pan out.

Huh? The Oilers didn't have a shot against the Avs.

Oilers with their trash goaltending, 1 way forwards and questionable defence had a legit chance at the cup, not just once but a few times? They have never even sniffed a chance at winning a cup

This is such a stupid thing to say. They’ve finished 1st in their division every year since 2019, 31 teams fail to win a Cup every year.
It’s clearly working so..
I mean that is hella impressive
But I do suspect that at some point to get over the line, they're going to have to spend and spend to get over the top

Make Mirrored Visors Legal Again
we do the exact opposite in Vancouver
The perpetual death cycle that Aquilini has Vancouver in
1) Spend in free agency like a drunken sailor
2) proceed to question why they don't have cap space
3) spend picks to clear cap or use buyouts
4) wonder why have no cost controlled assets or draft picks
5) spend in free agency
and repeat, repeat, repeat
