News around the NHL is slowing down, but not for the Carolina Hurricanes as they part ways with Evgeny Kuznetsov and re-sign Jack Drury. Restricted free agents Seth Jarvis and Martin Necas still need contracts.

Seth Jarvis, despite injuries, had an impressive season and deserves a substantial contract extension. Jarvis has expressed his desire to stay in Carolina for the long term and negotiations are expected to be fruitful for both sides.
