Hurricanes place star forward on the trade market

Elliotte Friedman opened up on NHL Network that he believes the Canes have reached out to teams about the Finnish forward Teuvo Teravainen:

After signing Michael Bunting to a 3 year, $13,500,000 contract, it appears that the Hurricanes have backed themselves into a corner money wise.

Teravainen is entering the final year of his 5-year contract that pays him $5.4 million per season.

One of the Frontrunners for Karlsson

With rumours out there about the Hurricanes and Penguins being the top 2 landing spots for the 3x Norris winning defenseman, it is possible that the Hurricanes could be using Teravainen as a piece involved in a trade that would send Erik Karlsson to Raleigh.

However the 28 year old winger has a 10 team no trade clause that he would potentially have to waive, if the Sharks were on that list.
