It seems that the Calgary Flames and Carolina Hurricanes are nearing a trade this summer, according to insider reports suggesting a potential deal between the two teams.

Teams have been active this off-season, making trades during the draft and signing free agents. However, the Hurricanes and Flames seemed to have missed the memo, remaining unusually quiet. According to an insider, that could change very soon.
A Brave New World for #Flames fans

You wanted a rebuild? Well it sure looks like you're getting one.

No team has more cap space than Calgary (& just 2 roster slots to fill!)

A club that routinely spent to the cap for years will likely enter the season barely above the floor
The Flames boast an impressive $22 million in cap space, offering them the NHL's greatest flexibility for signing and trading players compared to any other team.
Eric Duhatschek of The Athletic has proposed a trade involving the Hurricanes sending Jesperi Kotkaniemi to the Flames, amid indications that his tenure in Carolina hasn't unfolded as expected since his acquisition via an offer sheet from the Montreal Canadiens a few years ago.
"I personally would be trying to trade Kotkaniemi to Calgary because the Flames suddenly have the most salary-cap space of any team in the league and can use help down the middle."

Chatty's not going anywhere ‼️3x3mil

Eric Tulsky's first move as the general manager and it's a great deal. Time to sign Guentzel, Jarvis, Skjei/Pesce, Martinook among many others. Necas, Kotkaniemi and Freddie Anderson probably getting dealt. Time will tell

A deal is on the table, though it remains unclear what the Hurricanes would seek in return for Kotkaniemi. However, the Flames are clearly open for business, with a substantial $22 million in cap space to work with.
