A decision needs to be made on the long-time Carolina forward
The Carolina Hurricanes already have nine forwards signed for next season, (Staal, Staal, Semin, Skinner, Lindholm, Gerbe, McClement, Rask, and Malone), and two unsigned restricted free agent forwards who will most likely be back, (Nash and Nestrasil), so that does not leave a lot of room for change unless Ron Francis can get creative on the trade front.
There are a couple of pending free agents the organization has to make a decision on though, one of them being Patrick Dwyer.
Dwyer is a long-time Hurricane and has been with the team for seven seasons now, (since 2008-09).
