The dream player for Kent Hughes is now available
The Carolina Hurricanes will be a team to watch closely this summer after their elimination by the Rangers.
The future of head coach Rod Brind'Amour is uncertain, and several key players, such as defenseman Brett Pesce, could become unrestricted free agents.
Pesce, who suffered a lower-body injury in the first round against the Islanders, might leave the team after nearly ten years of service. Negotiations with Carolina fell through last year, and it seems unlikely they will resume, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Additionally, forward Martin Nečas, a restricted free agent, might have his signing rights traded, which is good news for Kent Hughes and the Canadiens.
Carolina might prefer to retain players like Jake Guentzel and Seth Jarvis, pushing Nečas to the background.
His performance this season has declined, and salary arbitration this summer could complicate negotiations.
Evolving Hockey projects that Nečas could secure a seven-year deal with a $7.5 million cap hit via a sign-and-trade.
