The Fourth Period: Pierre McGuire said last week on TSN 690 radio that the Hurricanes might be willing to trade some of their “core talent.”
Defenseman Justin Faulk and forward Jeff Skinner have been in the rumor mill for a while and could be the top candidates to be moved.
Faulk has two years left on his deal at a $4.833 million cap hit. The Hurricanes are deep on the blue line and could move Faulk for some help up front.
With the recent hiring of Rod Brind’Amour as their head coach, some think the change could keep Skinner around.
