If Carolina is looking to improve the defense, more than just draft picks and prospects will be needed. Here are some defensive players that I think might be available via trade this offseason.
If you’ve looked at the Carolina Hurricanes depth chart at any point this past season or you’ve actually watched them play, I can probably assume you know that the Canes defense is not one of the team’s strengths. This season, only Justin Faulk and Ron Hainsey played over 60 games on the Canes blueline and that wasn’t a result of injuries.
