The Carolina Hurricanes are very close to finalizing all of their remaining RFA contract negotiations for this offseason.
With the signing of Skyler Brind'Amour last night to a one-year, two-way extension, the team has now made qualifying offers to four of their seven RFAs.
The Canes entered the offseason with eight RFAs, made qualifying offers to five of them and then added two more through trades.
The Hurricanes traded for both K'Andre Miller and Cayden Primeau while they were still unsigned RFAs, but agreed to terms on an eight year, $7.5 million AAV deal in a sign-and-trade for Miller and signed Primeau to a one-year, two-way $775,000 deal.
And a couple of days ago, they extended Noel Gunler on a one-year, two-way deal as well.
That leaves the only outstanding RFAs needing new contracts as Ryan Suzuki, Domenick Fensore and Ronan Seeley.
The Hurricanes have taken care of a lot of business this offseason with those trades and key free agent signings, and if they can take care of these last outstanding contracts, the front office may finally be able to get a little bit of down time after a very busy year.
