Exploring Betting Options for the Carolina Hurricanes heading Into the 2025–26 NHL Season, Including Jaccob Slavin for Norris, Eric Tulsky for GM of the Year.

With the 2025‑26 NHL season approaching, the Carolina Hurricanes have generated buzz, not just from their offseason activity, but from the odds being offered on how far this squad can go. After a 2024‑25 campaign in which they posted a 47‑30‑5 record and accumulated 99 points, finishing second in the Metropolitan Division. 

Their stars shined once again as Sebastian Aho led the team with 74 points (29 goals, 45 assists in 79 games), while Seth Jarvis chipped in 67 points (32 goals, 35 assists in 73 games). Their outlook this year looks as good as ever to make a serious run towards hoisting the Stanley Cup and fans can look to win some extra cash along the way if they play their cards right.

Aggressive Roster Moves Suggest Swing For The Fences

The Hurricanes didn’t sit idle this summer. Their front office made several high‑profile moves in July 2025 that suggest they believe this is a window to push further in the playoffs and compete for championships. Carolina nabbed a top-six forward when they signed free agent forward Nikolaj Ehlers to a six‑year, $51 million contract. The 29 winger had 63 points (24 goals, 39 assists) in 69 games last season with Winnipeg. 

On the blueline, they added defenseman K’Andre Miller from the New York Rangers via a sign‑and‑trade to help boost their top four defense core. They look to hold onto assets they already have by extending forward Logan Stankoven to an eight‑year, $48 million deal with Carolina. Last season, between his time with Dallas and Carolina, he recorded 38 points in 78 games (14 goals, 24 assists).

They didn't lose many key players in the process, exporting older defenders in Brent Burns and Dmitry Orlov as well as depth forwards in Jack Roslovic and Scott Morrow. In terms of roster changes, the Hurricanes may produce their best lineup yet as they hunt their first championship since their 2006 Stanley Cup.
