After falling in the Eastern Conference final for the second time in three years, the Carolina Hurricanes made big splashes in an effort to finally get over the hump.
They have the same problems as they did last year, they still have no second line center, and they're primarily a team of really good, but not great, well coached, guys. they still lack a true playmaker, a guy that can make something out of nothing. I've always thought of Aho as sort of a "1b" center and not necessarily a true elite 1C. He'll good, real good, but not great. In order to have sustained success in the playoffs you have to be strong down the middle, they are not.
