NHL Rumors: Faulk, Karlsson, Hayes, More
In today's rumor rundown the Carolina Hurricanes just made a trade for one of their defensemen almost a guarantee with the signing of Calvin de Haan on Tuesday. Who will it be? Also, it looks like there is a frontrunner for Erik Karlsson's services and a surprise team might be leading the charge. The Rangers have a decision to make on Kevin Hayes and Carolina to Make Moves After landing top-four defenseman Calvin de Haan in free agency, the Carolina Hurricanes must have something else coming. Of the many teams that needed another defenseman, Carolina really wasn't one of them so the expectation is that with Dougie Hamilton, Justin Faulk, Jaccob Slavin, Brett Pesce, Trevor van Riemsdyk (an RFA), young pros Haydn Fleury and Roland McKeown, and elite prospects Jake Bean, Luke Martin, and Adam Fox all on the roster, someone is moving. Logic would suggest that someone is Justin Faulk. Luke DeCock suggests the Hurricanes now have their top four defensemen... Hurricanes Goaltending
Hurricanes Hope for Magical Petr Mrázek
Petr Mrázek is now signed with the Carolina Hurricanes. He is starting out as the backup goaltender, but he may have to be ready to carry more of the load as Cam Ward did last season, should starter Scott Darling flame out again. In fact, Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell said that there would be a healthy competition in the starter's crease this fall. Mrázek may wind up being the Hurricanes' starting goaltender. With a couple of pen strokes, Waddell got a comparable backup to what he had in Ward and saved a ton of money. Ward signed with the Chicago Blackhawks for $3 million while Mrázek signed a one-year deal with the 'Canes for $1.5 million. https://twitter.com/PHLFlyersNation/status/1014105607312375809 Mrázek had a magical outing against the Hurricanes three years ago. Fans in Raleigh are hoping that is the Mrázek they have acquired, not the one who has struggled over the past two years to regain the former magic he had in-between the pipes. In about...

Hurricanes Sign Calvin de Haan
The frustrating offseason continued for the New York Islanders late on Tuesday evening when news broke that the Carolina Hurricanes had signed defenceman and former Islander Calvin de Haan to a four-year contract, according to Luke DeCock. https://twitter.com/LukeDeCock/status/1014322132212469760 The deal is reportedly worth $18.2 million over the course of the four years and carries a cap hit and annual average value (AAV) of $4.55 million per season. Not only does it lock up the 27-year-old for the Hurricanes through the 2021-22 season, but it also solidifies the future for the young blueliner who is coming off a one-year deal with the Islanders in which he made $3.3 million. De Haan Looking for Bounce Back With the Islanders last season, de Haan collected just one goal and 12 points in 33 games - missing the final 49 due to injury. However, it’s worth noting that while he was healthy he did earn himself a plus-11 rating, but was sub-50 in Corsi-For Percentage at... Hurricanes Goaltending
