It is "when" not "if" the Canes trade Ferland as the two sides are far apart.
Pens and Oilers make sense, but other teams will too
Canes have told teams they want to wait before deciding on whether to move McElhinney or Mrazek but that can change if the offer is good enough
Hamilton could be dealt because the Canes are right shot heavy
Contender's need defencemen that can score, Carolina needs scoring forwards. There are matches out there
Pat Maroon is available
Tampa is trying to move Slater Koekoek (*could he be the Left shot d-man the Flames are reportedly looking for*)
The price for Muzzin is high
Teams will be watching how the Jets handle Brossoit who is 1 year away from UFA.
Teams also watching Brandon Tanev who is UFA this summer
Cheveldayoff is shooting down the teams that are asking about Jack Roslovic
Several team's scouts left the WJC early to watch college free agents Cnnor Mackay and Nico Sturm
There is interest in Del Zotto but those parties will wait until closer to the deadline to save cap space
