A trade proposal highlighted by Bleacher Report's Adam Gretz suggests the Carolina Hurricanes could acquire Philadelphia Flyers forward Travis Konecny. In exchange, the proposed permanent trade package would send restricted free agent defenseman Alexander Nikishin, prospect Charlie Cerrato, and a first-round draft pick to Philadelphia.
The 29-year-old Konecny, currently playing under an eight-year, $70 million contract, is identified as an offensive boost for Carolina's roster. Meanwhile, the 25-year-old Nikishin remains unsigned and has reportedly drawn widespread trade interest from several other NHL franchises, including the St. Louis Blues and Toronto Maple Leafs.
