Skjei could be on his way to Carolina?
Pierre LeBrun: “Hearing that Rangers and Hurricanes have been talking about a potential Brady Skjei trade but right now Carolina has cap issues so not clear where this goes…”
Darren Dreger: “Sounds like a 1st round pick in discussions for Skjei. However, cap issues for the Hurricanes are complicating things.”
#Hurricanes currently have $593,004 in projected cap space, which is the equivalent of a $2,690,213 cap hit.
Brady Skjei has 4 years remaining on his deal after this season at a cap hit of $5,250,000.https://t.co/UOwu0C674D pic.twitter.com/jo4ZMLo5ZL

On the Canucks and Tyson Barrie

On the New York Rangers
Dan Rosen: “Henrik Lundqvist spoke to the media today after Rangers practice. He said he knows he’ll be sitting down with management after the season to go over his role, his future, but his focus now is on preparing to play, being ready when called upon, supporting his teammates throughout.”
Vince Mercogliano: “I still think there’s a good chance Georgiev is traded this offseason and Hank plays out next year as backup/mentor to Igor, playing 30-40% of the games. But this is an admission from Hank that the future is uncertain & he’ll have a convo with management after this season.”
