RALEIGH, N.C. — While NHL free agency began Wednesday, the Carolina Hurricanes could be using a big trade to fill one of its biggest voids.
The Canes are working to acquire Brent Burns, a former Norris Trophy winner, from the San Jose Sharks, according to various media reports.
The Canes, who also could receive forward Lane Pederson in the deal, reportedly are sending forward Steven Lorentz, goalie prospect Eetu Makiniemi and a conditional 2023 third-round draft pick to San Jose.
