The Carolina Hurricanes acquired forwards Mikko Rantanen from the Colorado Avalanche and Taylor Hall from the Chicago Blackhawks in a three-team trade Friday night.
In the deal, Carolina sent forwards Martin Necas and Jack Drury, as well as a second-round pick in this year’s draft and a fourth-rounder in 2026, to the Avalanche.
The Blackhawks reclaimed a third-round pick for this year’s draft and took on half of Rantanen’s salary.
The deal comes as the NHL approaches its 4 Nations tournament break, with just more than a month before the league’s trade deadline on March 7.
Teams are attempting to get a jump on the trade market with tightly contested races in both conferences. Trade talk had heightened, too, with speculation surrounding Vancouver shopping forward J.T. Miller.
