Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: The Carolina Hurricanes were in competition with the Florida Panthers to acquire Brady Skjei from the New York Rangers at the deadline.
The Panthers problem was that they were trying to move salary out in the deal according to two sources. thinks they were offering defenseman Mike Matheson, which didn’t make sense for the Rangers as they were looking to create cap room for Chris Kreider.
Believe the Ottawa Senators last contract offer to Jean-Gabriel Pageau was around $4.5 million.
