The 2018 NHL Trade Deadline is drawing near and teams that are still in contention are heating up trade talks now. Carolina Hurricanes general manager Ron Francis is among some GM’s that do not stay very busy when it comes to the Trade Deadline.
However, in Francis’ fourth season as Carolina’s GM, he has not seen success like this, halfway through a season. Only a few points out of a playoff spot in the wildcard and Metropolitan Division races in the Eastern Conference, it makes a lot of sense for the Canes to make a big splash this year.
