That time Keith Tkachuk was (almost) traded to the Carolina Hurricanes

Okay, let’s clear a few things up right off the bat: I love Rod Brind’Amour, he is arguably the most influential figure in Carolina Hurricanes’ history, and, if I had a time machine, I absolutely would not change the trade that brought him to Raleigh.

With that out of the way, I wanted to look back to a trade that almost brought power forward Keith Tkachuk to the Hurricanes. So sit back and let’s step back to 1999.

Primeau sat atop the scoring ranks for the Hurricanes in each of their first two seasons in North Carolina.
