Gino Reda: “On the NHL commerce deadline, the Carolina Hurricanes, led by Common Supervisor Eric Tulsky, tried to get their arms on Mitch Marner. They didn’t thus far, however Pierre, you spoke to Tulsky, could that battle not be over simply but?”
LeBrun: “Properly, and let’s be clear, once we did this interview on Sunday for a chunk I wrote within the Athletic on Monday, we didn’t point out the title Mitch Marner, as a result of that might be tampering.
However what we did talk about is the truth that the Carolina Hurricanes have lots of wage cap room this offseason. In actual fact, Tulsky mentioned even when he tried to signal all of his gamers on expired offers, he would nonetheless be $20 million underneath the wage cap this summer time.
So be careful as actually the message right here as a result of Carolina, as we all know, is all the time an energetic staff making an attempt to take huge swings, and they’re going to try this once more this summer time with all that cap room.
However yeah, I’ll say it. I imply, if Mitch Marner does go to market July 1st, I’d anticipate the Hurricanes to be one of many groups no less than discovering out if they are often on his checklist, as a result of they tried to commerce for him, as we all know that’s been reported.
So it’s fascinating from that perspective. But in addition by way of Carolina saying, ‘Hey, we’re contenders proper now, however we are usually very aggressive this summer time.’”
