One proposed trade sees Mikko Rantanen traded for a second time in two months, this time to the Winnipeg Jets.
After participating in the 4 Nations, Rantanen is facing questions about his future and adjusting to his new surroundings.
On Whalers night at Lenovo Center, Mikko Rantanen slipped into a different sweater and turned in his first multi-point game with the Canes.
Mikko Rantanen had a goal and an assist and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Buffalo Sabres 5-2. Jordan Staal, Sebastian Aho, Taylor Hall and Seth Jarvis also scored for Carolina, which had lost its first two games after the league break for the 4 Nations Face-Off.
