Hurricanes were looking to clear some cap space with that trade. Which might pave the way for other moves.

Worth listening to Rod Brind’Amour on the Canes Corner Podcast in light of the deal. Among other things, he details why it’s important that Jake Bean and Haydn Fleury get a fair shot at a place on the roster. [WRALSportsFan (audio)]

Attention today will turn to the Canes’ restricted free agents - RFAs. Brett has the essential info below:
Also, tomorrow is July 25, which means NHL teams have until 5:00 pm EST tomorrow to submit qualifying offers to their RFAs. Carolina's RFAs: Aho, McGinn, Bishop, Maenalanen, Fleury, Carrick, McKeown, Wesley, Nedeljkovic. Any non-tendered players would become UFAs on July 1.
