The Ottawa Senators traded forwards Cedric Paquette and Alex Galchenyuk to the Carolina Hurricanes for forward Ryan Dzingel.
All three players will be unrestricted free agents after the season.
Cap Friendly: The Hurricanes will gain $650,000 in salary cap space.
Thoughts from the media
Chip Alexander: “Dzingel’s acquisition seemed to be a good one at the time, a good fit for the Brind’Amour system. Just didn’t work out. Now have to see how it goes with Cedric Paquette and Alex Galchenyuk.”
Michael Smith: “Paquette is a gritty center, a great addition down the middle for the #Canes.
