Elliotte Friedman: The Carolina Hurricanes have given pending unrestricted free agent defenseman Dougie Hamilton permission to speak with others teams.
This opens up a potential sign-and-trade.
Elliotte Friedman: What allowing Hamilton’s camp talk to other teams also does is that it allows Hamilton to see if the Hurricanes do give him the best contract offer,
If he doesn’t like what he hears from other teams, he can return to the Hurricanes.
It is definitely an interesting move by the team and player.
