We’ve covered all bases over the last fortnight or so. We have looked at various opportunities for the Carolina Hurricanes to add to their roster and bolster their playoff hopes, through trades with the Anaheim Ducks, Edmonton Oilers, Minnesota Wild and Toronto Maple Leafs. We’ve looked at acquiring individuals such as Mike Hoffman, Matt Duchene and Marcus Johansson. This is the most open trade deadline in years, and it’s odd to consider the Canes as being potential buyers.
That being said, we’ve also looked at whether the Canes should stick to the long-term plan, and sell their UFAs to the highest bidders; we have also looked at whether GM Don Waddell should simply stand pat, and keep the status quo with a roster that’s tearing up the schedule in 2019.
