The Hurricanes season ended last night with a 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers, marking not only the conclusion of their playoff run but also the end of Brett Pesce's time with the team. Pesce's father confirmed on social media that Brett will not be re-signing with Carolina.
With Pesce's contract expiring, he is set to become an unrestricted free agent (UFA). His father, Brian Pesce, responded to a fan's comment on social media, indicating Brett's departure:
Pesce has new representation with Judd Moldaver, EVP of Wasserman Hockey, as he enters the final year of his current contract.
This suggests that Pesce and the Hurricanes are parting ways. As one of the top two-way defensemen in the league, Pesce will be highly sought after in the UFA market and is expected to command a salary of at least $6 million. This news certainly spices up the upcoming free agent market!
