There are not very many Carolina Hurricanes players that I would be too excited about, but there are a few. One of them is forward Elias Lindholm, who completed his sophomore season in 2015 and he is definitely trending the right way.
Even with another year left on his entry-level deal, the Hurricanes were quick to give him his bridge deal, signing him to a 2-year, $5.4 million contract extension, locking him in at a potential bargain basement deal, if his career trajectory is any indication. At a $2.7 million cap hit in the 2017 & 2018 season, he is well on his way to bigger and better things.
In his sophomore season, he went up to 39 points in 81 games and the hockey magazines that I've profiled thus far are pegging him in at 45 points, while I have gone a step further, slotting him in at 50 points. I think Hurricanes will be a better team this season and that will be reflected in his third season in the league.
