NHL Rumors: Calgary Flames, Carolina Hurricanes, and the Colorado Avalanche
Host: “Dave, we noticed the Carolina Hurricanes on the Bell Middle on Saturday Night time, and you realize, that’s a very good group. However what do you suppose the offseason appears like for a Carolina Hurricanes group that has solely three defensemen below contract?
RFA standing on (Martin) Necas and (Seth) Jarvis. Necas is being eligible for arbitration. And also you even have (Teuvo) Teravainen as an unrestricted free agent. That may be a group that, in the event that they don’t win, like there’s plenty of change coming or not.”
Dave Pagnotta: “There’s plenty of potential for change. Completely. And people contract negotiations with Teravainen, Brett Pesce, and Brady Skjei, have been nearly non-existent this season. They’d some conversations going into the season. There was some forwards and backwards, however from a negotiation perspective, you realize, there’s talks that are good. They usually attempt to shift the narrative, however no less than that’s the message: hey, we’re speaking, however you’re speaking, however are you negotiating?
No, they weren’t with these guys this season. In order that they’re gonna must get their act collectively comparatively rapidly when their season involves a detailed after the playoffs to strive to determine what they wish to do. Then you definately’ve bought Jake Guentzel, whom I believe they’re going to go all in for. They’ve relayed the message that they wish to go all in to attempt to signal him to an extension. So we’ll see type of the place that goes.

However, you realize, Necas, this was a man that was put right into a bundle for Elias Pettersson, and clearly that didn’t get anyplace. They made it identified that they’d be keen to pay attention on him to different groups. It appears to be some sort of, nicely, perhaps they’re scared slightly little bit of what they suppose he might ask for as an RFA in the event that they get to arbitration. In order that may very well be a participant that we may even see, or no less than hear about slightly bit extra in the summertime. As soon as the season ends, as soon as we get nearer to draft time, there’s that potential.
So that you’re proper. There may very well be a good quantity of changeover in Carolina this offseason in the event that they don’t deal with sure issues comparatively rapidly between the top of their season and July one.”
