This would be a very un-Hurricanes-like move simply because they do not tend to make major investments in goalies and look for cheaper, more cap-friendly options.
But with veteran Frederik Andersen set to become an unrestricted free agent and the club taking some bigger swings at personnel moves the past couple of years (Jake Guentzel, Mikko Rantanen), they might have some interest in trying to add a high-profile goalie, especially if this year’s playoff run does not result in a championship or Stanley Cup Final appearance.
Goaltending is one of the few question marks the Hurricanes tend to have, and Swayman might do well playing behind a team that defends the way it does.
It would be an expensive investment, but they could have some interest.
