NHL Rumors: The Carolina Hurricanes have many balls in the air and decisions to make

The Carolina Hurricanes are taking their time with their roster decisions and exploring various options. They haven’t had recent discussions with Tony DeAngelo’s agent since he became a free agent, and the interest in signing Vladimir Tarasenko has cooled. To acquire Erik Karlsson, they may need to offload some salary and a defenseman. However, they have no immediate rush to make any moves and are currently focusing on getting a contract extension done for Sebastian Aho.

As for defenseman Brett Pesce, who has one year left on his contract, the Hurricanes may consider trading him if they can’t afford to extend his contract. While Pesce is an essential part of their core, the team may have other players who can fill his role. His recent shoulder surgeries may also be a factor in their decision. If he were a free agent this offseason, salary models estimate his value between $5.5 million and $6.3 million, making him an attractive option for other teams looking for a second-pairing, right-handed, shutdown defenseman.

Teams that could be interested in Pesce include the Dallas Stars, Buffalo Sabres, Toronto Maple Leafs, Nashville Predators, and Edmonton Oilers. However, it remains to be seen whether any of these teams will pursue a trade for him.

As for Erik Karlsson, there are rumors that the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Hurricanes are the front-runners for his services. However, nothing is set in stone, and other teams might still be in the mix for the talented defenseman.
