The Hurricanes released Halak from his PTO today. It will be interesting to see if the Oilers give him a look.

The Canes could be a potential trading partner for Vladar or Markstrom. So far, Raanta has been playing well for them but he will celebrate his 35th birthday before the playoffs start, so that's certainly a risk for them.

Kochetkov has not been doing well, with a 1-4 record this season. Overall, they have only lost 7 games this season, so he has more than half their losses and only 10% of their wins.

Right now, Carolina is 1 point behind Philly for 2nd in the Metro, but they're also only 1 point ahead of Detroit in the Wild Card race. They are definitely a team I could see trying to make a move to improve their goaltending sooner rather than later.
