Everything seemed really quiet on the NHL Trade Deadline for the Carolina Hurricanes, until after 3 PM deadline. Pierre LeBrun would break the news, seemingly out of nowhere, that Haydn Fleury had been traded to the Anaheim Ducks.
I, personally, kept hope that maybe the player coming back would be Josh Manson, but I was wrong; Jani Hakanpää became a Carolina Hurricanes player.
