Potential New Home for Brett Pesce
Defenseman Brett Pesce, renowned as a valuable player for the Carolina Hurricanes, might be looking at a change of scenery. The 28-year-old's skills have caught the attention of several teams, including the Toronto Maple Leafs.
What's The Fourth Period Saying?
David Pagnotta, reporting for The Fourth Period, has stated that the Hurricanes' management will either extend Pesce's contract or trade him before he enters his final year. Pesce signed a six-year deal with the Hurricanes back in 2018, which is now nearing its end.
