Summary
The Carolina Hurricanes’ Stanley Cup run wasn’t luck—it was Eric Tulsky’s masterful chess game. After a bold January trade for Mikko Rantanen (who soon became a deal-maker), Tulsky flipped him to Dallas for Logan Stankoven and two picks—one landing K’Andre Miller. Just days later, they signed Nikolaj Ehlers, turning a roster of playoff ghosts into championship contenders. Taylor Hall, Stankoven, Miller, and goalie Brandon Bussi—especially his Finals shutout—brought the grit and firepower Coach Brind’Amour demanded. Tulsky’s blueprint? Aggressive, calculated moves to fit his team’s identity. And now, after years of heartbreak, the Hurricanes finally own their second Cup.
