With the Hurricanes squarely in the midst of the playoff hunt, it should come as no surprise to anyone that the team has been actively mentioned in the rumor mill leading up to the trade deadline on February 24th.
Whether or not the Hurricanes will end up parting with assets to acquire some player(s) to aid them with their post-season aspirations remains to be seen, and there’s a number of different situations they could look to address – an argument could probably be made for all options – offense, defense, and/or goaltending.
Despite the team ranking a respectable 10th-place in goals-for per game, the offense aside from the Svechnikov-Aho-Turbo trio has been sparse recently.
