- The wild card with the trade is Marleau who the Canes want to convince to stay in Raleigh:
Before making any moves, the #Canes will chat with Marleau and gauge his temperature on his immediate future. The 2019-20 season would be the veteran forward's 22nd in the NHL.

Hearing the Hurricanes and the Capitals are in talks that involve Justin Faulk on the move and Carolina acquiring the rights to and signing Chase Priskie, Quinnipiac defenseman who didn’t sign with Caps. Extent of talks currently unclear, might not be able to acquire rights ATM.
