Carolina Hurricanes: Key Considerations Leading Up to the March 7, 2025 Trade Deadline

As the March 7, 2025, NHL Trade Deadline approaches, the Carolina Hurricanes have been actively shaping their roster to make a deep postseason run in April. The Canes currently hold a 34-21-4 record and sit second in the Metropolitan Division. The team has already made significant moves, including acquiring Mikko Rantanen and Taylor Hall.

Key Considerations Before the Deadline

A primary focus for the Hurricanes before the deadline is Mikko Rantanen’s contract status. After being acquired in January, Rantanen’s long-term commitment to the Hurricanes remains uncertain. According to TSN’s Chris Johnston, Rantanen’s camp is expected to provide clarity on his willingness to sign with the team in the coming days. This decision will significantly influence the Hurricanes’ strategy as the deadline quickly approaches.

Additionally, the Hurricanes have maintained a well-stocked pool of strong prospects and draft capital, giving them an advantage in future potential acquisitions. With the major trade for Rantanen already complete, any additional moves are expected to address specific team needs.

As the March 7 deadline nears, Hurricanes’ management will closely monitor team performance and player negotiations to make informed decisions aimed at strengthening their playoff push.

The Hurricanes will be taking on Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers tomorrow, Saturday, March 1st.
