Craig Custance of the Sporting News is reporting that as many as 3 NHL teams are interested in trading for Carolina’s RFA defender Anton babchuk:
Three Teams Interested in Hurricanes’ Babchuk
Right now there are three teams showing serious interest in the Russian defenseman, although one team has the inside track. With Carolina’s roster basically set for this season, look for Carolina to ask for a prospect, most likely a defenseman, in return for Babchuk.
“I would expect that something is going to happen with him prior to camp this week,” Rutherford said.
Babchuk scored 16 goals and 35 points as a sophore for the Hurricanes last season, but rejected their one-year offer this off-season.
