The Carolina Hurricanes are reportedly interested in acquiring another top nine forward and are willing to move one of Trevor van Riemsdyk or Haydn Fleury in a deal to do so. Since his name has surfaced in the rumor mill, how will his loss impact the Carolina Hurricanes’ roster?
Originally acquired from the Vegas Golden Knights during the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft in exchange for a second round pick, van Riemsdyk was brought in to provide stability to the 5/6 defensive pair. During his tenure in Carolina he has done just that, proving the team with a reliable shut down defender capable of jumping into the top four should injuries occur.
