A recent report indicates that Ron Francis is looking to re-sign the Carolina goalie.
It is less than a week before the draft and rumors are running rampant around the NHL.
In Elliotte Friedman's weekly "30 Thoughts" posted yesterday, he mentions that the Hurricanes are tossing Jeff Skinner's name out there.
15. Skinner’s name is out there, I think, because, unlike some of his teammates, he does not have no-trade protection. His cap hit is $5.725M. He’s 23, one year removed from a 33-goal season. Health is a concern, but he has played 190 of Carolina’s past 212 games.
