The NHL world saw over $1 billion in contracts during the free agency period in July. Despite few trades, many players have requested trades or informed teams they will not re-sign. The Hurricanes are in trade talks involving Martin Necas and Nick Robertson.

Robertson, a young forward with scoring potential, has requested a trade from the Maple Leafs. He has faced injuries but has shown promise in previous seasons. His ability to play both wings and provide secondary offense could benefit the Hurricanes.

A potential trade proposal involves acquiring Robertson's RFA rights in exchange for Ryan Suzuki and a draft pick. Robertson's projected deal of $2.759 million over two years could be a valuable addition for the Hurricanes.
