History

2011-12: Jeremy Welsh was signed by the Hurricanes as a free agent following his junior season at Union College after the Dutchmen won the ECAC Hockey championship and reached the Frozen Four for the first time in school history. He made his NHL debut in an April game against Florida and was scoreless with 4 penalty minutes in 16:32 of ice time in his only NHL appearance. Welsh scored 27 goals with 17 assists and was plus-18 with 47 penalty minutes in 40 games for Union. He was named to the NCAA East Second All-Star Team and was the ECAC Hockey tournament MVP. Welsh was tendered a qualifying offer by the Hurricanes in June and signed to a two-year contract in September 2012.

The Hurricanes were arguably the NHL’s busiest team the past six months, adding Jordan Staal and Alexander Semin to their top six while committing more than $150 million in guaranteed money to both their new acquisitions and their core players.

The focus is clearly on winning — and winning now. Carolina traded one of their top prospects in defenseman Brian Dumoulin to Pittsburgh to land Staal, and the one-year deal for Semin shows that Carolina’s braintrust is willing to take a risk.
