Laine, from Finland, might find the Hurricanes appealing since they have several Finnish players. Joining them could also allow him to mentor younger players and improve his performance, which hasn't been at its best in Columbus.
Hurricanes to do list:
Sign Jarvis to long-term deal
Sign Necas to decent/long-term deal (or trade for Ehlers)
Pursue Laine trade (possibly a package that includes Jesperi Kotkaniemi)

Trade discussions are expected to intensify once Laine exits the NHL's Player Assistance Program, where he's currently unable to engage in trade talks. Keep an eye out for major updates in the coming weeks.
