Carolina Hurricanes: Is a Jack Eichel deal still possible?

Jack Eichel is still a Buffalo Sabre. He has not been freed from that team yet. He’s still suffering in shackles in northern New York. If you remember around the time of the draft, the Carolina Hurricanes were reported to have interest in the star centre, but nothing materialized. Is it still possible to move for the Bostonian?

Obviously, stuff has happened since then. What is probably the first red flag when discussing an Eichel deal is that the Carolina Hurricanes do not possess a 2021 1st round pick. A 2022 pick will not hold as much value as the 2021 draft is perceived to be far stronger than the draft the year after.
