With the trade deadline a day away, most of the news around the league surrounds the NHL's annual swap meet. For the Hurricanes, it's quiet right now and tonight's game vs. the Capitals could be a turning point in the season. Win, and the crushing defeat to Atlanta can be swept under the rug. Lose, and GM Jim Rutherford could look to move assets rather than acquire them for the stretch run.
