Gino Reda: “On the NHL commerce deadline, the Carolina Hurricanes, led by Basic Supervisor Eric Tulsky, tried to get their palms on Mitch Marner. They didn’t so far, however Pierre, you spoke to Tulsky, could that battle not be over simply but?”
LeBrun: “Effectively, and let’s be clear, after we did this interview on Sunday for a bit I wrote within the Athletic on Monday, we didn’t point out the identify Mitch Marner, as a result of that might be tampering.
However what we did talk about is the truth that the Carolina Hurricanes have plenty of wage cap room this offseason. The truth is, Tulsky mentioned even when he tried to signal all of his gamers on expired offers, he would nonetheless be $20 million beneath 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 lively group making an attempt to take massive swings, and they’ll do 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 might anticipate the Hurricanes to be one of many groups no less than discovering out if they are often on his listing, as a result of they tried to commerce for him, as we all know that’s been reported.
So it’s fascinating from that viewpoint. But in addition when it comes to Carolina saying, ‘Hey, we’re contenders proper now, however we are usually very aggressive this summer time.’”
