Promising Young Forward Requests Trade From the Carolina Hurricanes
Jack Drury, a former second round pick of the Carolina Hurricanes reportedly requested a trade out of town last season. Rumors are swirling that the Hurricanes may be willing to accommodate that request.
Trade Request
Drury has taken a very interesting path to the NHL. Drafted out of the USHL in 2018, Drury then spent two years playing for the men's hockey program at Harvard University. He then left school during the pandemic to spend a year playing for Vaxjo in the Swedish Hockey League before finally joining the Hurricanes organization.
After a year in the AHL with the Chicago Wolves, Drury split this past season with Chicago and Carolina, where he was productive in Chicago, but struggled to find ice time in Carolina.
The Hurricanes are a perennially strum NHL outfit and forward spots have been limited to younger prospects.
Drury has been blocked at his natural center ice position by Sebastian Aho, Jordan Staal, and Jesperi Kotkaniemi.
With rumors of Alex DeBrincat wanting out of Ottawa, maybe the Hurricanes can accommodate Drury's request and send him to Canada's capital. The Hurricanes are in need of elite wingers and Ottawa may be the perfect place for Drury to get a fresh start and more playing time.
