On the Wednesday edition of Locked On Hurricanes, we took a look at three Carolina Hurricanes forwards to watch during the 2026-27 season. On the Friday episode, we will turn to the blueline and discuss three defensemen to watch for the Hurricanes. On the Friday Edition of Locked On Hurricanes,  Zach begins the show by sharing his thoughts on how Jaccob Slavin will seek to play a full season after playing in only 39 regular-season games in 2025-26. The Colorado native won the Gold Medal and a Stanley Cup; what's next for the best defensive defneseman in the NHL? Secondly, Zach shares his thoughts on K'Andre Miller and how he will have an even better second season in Raleigh. After signing an eight-year deal, paying him $7.5 million annually, he went on to win a Cup in his first season. What does season two have in store? Finally, Zach concludes the show by discussing Shayne Gostisbehere and how he looks poised to break the single-season points record for a Hurricanes defenseman. He had 50 points in 55 games last season; he would have easily broken Brent Burns' 61. Can Ghost break it during the 2026-27 season? All of that and more, on the latest edition of Locked On Hurricanes.        Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms:  🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCarolinaHurricanes?sid=YouTube  Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More:  🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL      Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
