While the Carolina Hurricanes have not had the greatest start to the season considering their expectations, they do still have a lot of things going for them. One big thing is that the team currently has a surplus of NHL level defensemen. As a result, they are reportedly looking to trade one of their blueliners in an effort to add to other parts of the roster.
The Hurricanes re-acquired DeAngelo this offseason after the Flyers bought him out. Ironically, it was the Hurricanes that had traded him to the Flyers in the first place. Now he seems to be on his way out of Carolina yet again.
Another blueliner the team could move is Brett Pesce. Pesce, 28, is in the final year of a four-year deal that carries a cap hit of 4.025 million dollars. Contract negotiations with the veteran defenseman have reportedly reached an impasse, making it likely that he will test the free agent market this offseason.
