RUMOR: Hurricanes Interested In Mark Scheifele

The Carolina Hurricanes have been lacking scoring and look to be targeting Mark Scheifele as their 2nd line center.

Lack of scoring has been a problem in the Carolina Hurricanes system for a while. It showed especially in the third round where Carolina got swept by Florida losing every game by just one goal.

While they were without two of their top three goal scorers in Max Pacioretty and Andrei Svechnikov, they were not able to rely on their scoring depth to win the series against Sergei Bobrovsky.

Now, they need to address their scoring woes and have been looking at Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele.

Scheifele would be an interesting fit in Carolina given their need for a second-line center.

To CAR:
Mark Scheifele (50% retained)

To WPG:
Scott Morrow
Ryan Suzuki
2024 1st-round pick
2023 3rd-round pick

Winnipeg gets assets to build their team around in the future and Carolina gets their goal-scorer to plug into the top six and powerplay.
