NHL Rumours<\/h2>\n

Hurricanes Looking Into Mark Scheifele Trade<\/h3>\n

Rumour: Scott Billeck of The Winnipeg Sun <\/em>mentioned a number of teams<\/a> that could be interested in Scheifele. However, moving him may be the hardest out of him<\/a>, Pierre-Luc Dubois<\/a> and Connor Hellebuyck<\/a>. The Jets have control of Scheifele for one more season, but likely don’t want him to walk away for nothing. If the Jets need to make a deal, there are a number of teams that would be interest in the veteran centre.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The 30-year-old makes $6.125 million in this last year of his deal and has a modified no-trade clause. This would be a 10-team no-trade list, but Kitchener, Ontario native would probably love to go to a contender.<\/p>\n

Can a Mark Scheifele Trade Happen?<\/h3>\n

Billeck listed the Boston Bruins, Detroit Red Wings and Calgary Flames were listed. However, this article will focus on the Hurricanes. Carolina general manager Don Waddell<\/a> doesn’t like to break the bank for anyone. The Hurricanes were rumoured to be in the mix for a number of star players, dud didn’t want to pay the steep asking price.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seth Jarvis<\/a> and\/or Martin Necas<\/a>, and Brett Pesce<\/a> could be involved in a trade coming back. However, there could be a larger deal involving Brenden Dillon<\/a> and Ville Heinola<\/a> swapping places. Billeck <\/span>even mentioned that Jesperi Kotkaniemi<\/a> could get a fresh start with the Jets. Carolina may not have a penchant for making big swings, but their hand may be forced.<\/p>\n

Winnipeg may not realize it, but a rebuild is coming with the trio wanting a new start<\/a>. However, the Jets may be able to mold their roster with some new players from these deals.<\/p>\n
