The Carolina Hurricanes are actively seeking to bolster their center depth following the trade of Jack Drury. With Frederik Andersen returning to health, the team's goaltending situation appears stable, leaving them poised for further roster enhancements.

In the wake of the Hurricanes' recent moves, other teams in the league, such as the Florida Panthers, New Jersey Devils, and Washington Capitals, are also exploring roster improvements without rushing their strategy. The Penguins are contemplating a retooling phase, particularly with key players like Sidney Crosby and potential trade assets like Marcus Pettersson.
