Host: “Dave, we noticed the Carolina Hurricanes on the Bell Heart on Saturday Night time, and you realize, that’s a extremely good group. However what do you suppose the offseason appears like for a Carolina Hurricanes group that has solely three defensemen below contract?
RFA standing on (Martin) Necas and (Seth) Jarvis. Necas is being eligible for arbitration. And also you even have (Teuvo) Teravainen as an unrestricted free agent. That could be a group that, in the event that they don’t win, like there’s loads of change coming or not.”
Dave Pagnotta: “There’s loads of potential for change. Completely. And people contract negotiations with Teravainen, Brett Pesce, and Brady Skjei, have been nearly non-existent this season. That they had some conversations going into the season. There was some forwards and backwards, however from a negotiation perspective, you realize, there’s talks that are good. And so they attempt to shift the narrative, however no less than that’s the message: hey, we’re speaking, however you’re speaking, however are you negotiating?
No, they weren’t with these guys this season. So that they’re gonna should get their act collectively comparatively shortly when their season involves an in depth after the playoffs to strive to determine what they wish to do.

It appears to be some kind of, effectively, perhaps they’re scared slightly little bit of what they suppose he might ask for as an RFA in the event that they get to arbitration. In order that may very well be a participant that we might even see, or no less than hear about slightly bit extra in the summertime. As soon as the season ends, as soon as we get nearer to draft time, there’s that potential.
So that you’re proper. There may very well be a good quantity of changeover in Carolina this offseason in the event that they don’t tackle sure issues comparatively shortly between the top of their season and July one.”
