The Carolina Hurricanes have announced they have traded defenseman Calvin de Haan and forward Aleksi Saarela to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for goaltender Anton Forsberg and defenseman Gustav Forlsing.
The move signals added uncertainty in net with recent reports surfacing that the Hurricanes are far apart in deals with unrestricted free agents Petr Mrazek and Curtis McElhinney. Forsberg is a player with just 45 starts under his belt at the NHL level. He’s posted an 11-24-4 record with a 3.21 goals against average and a .901 save percentage.
