Canes of Yesteryear

The former star winger and Calder Trophy winner played for Carolina from 2010 to 2018. Now, he's onto his fourth team, the San Jose Sharks, following a one-year stint with the Edmonton Oilers.


Dylan Coghlan

The former Canes depth defender was with the organization for two seasons, joining as part of the Max Pacioretty deal. After a year in Winnipeg, he'll now be rejoining his old squad, the Vegas Golden Knights.


Ethan Bear

Rempal played three games with the Hurricanes in 2020-21. He signed a two-way deal with the Washington Capitals this offseason after a 31 goal, 61 point campaign in the KHL last season.


Mackenzie MacEachern
31, LW

MacEachern didn't spend a long time with the Hurricanes (just one season in 2022-23) but his first game came during the playoffs where he registered a goal and two points. After another two seasons with the St. Louis Blues organization, MacEachern signed a two-year deal with the Vancouver Canucks.


Jesse Puljujarvi

Former Canes Who Extended With Current Teams

Tony DeAngelo

After a brief stint in Russia last year, the offensive defenseman joined the New York Islanders mid-season and since forth, signed a one-year extension to stay this summer. DeAngelo spent two seasons in Carolina (2021-22 and 2023-24).


Morgan Geekie
27, C

The 2017 third-round pick spent three years with the Hurricanes organization, and his NHL debut was one to remember with two goals and three points against the Penguins. After a career year with the Boston Bruins (33 goals, 57 points), he signed a six-year extension.


Steven Lorentz
29, LW

Lorentz's story is an inspiring one, going from a seventh-round pick (2015) to the ECHL all the way to playing a consistent NHL role. He's also won a Stanley Cup and Calder Cup already in his career. After a strong year as a depth player for the Toronto Maple Leafs, he signed a three-year extension.


Haydn Fleury
29, LD

The 2014 seventh-overall pick has never quite managed to carve out a consistent NHL role, but has managed to secure a role with the Winnipeg Jets, signing a two-year extension. Fleury played for the the Canes from 2017-2021.


Clark Bishop
29, C

Bishop was a 2014 fifth-round pick by the Hurricanes and played for the organization from 2016-2020. He's been with the Calgary Flames since 2022 and signed another one-year extension this summer.
