Raleigh, NC. --
The Canes looked to shore up their third line with the big club and believe they might have done so by adding veteran Clarke MacArthur from the San Jose Sharks.
To CAROLINA: Clarke MacArthur & Tommy Wingels
To San Jose: Branden Troock, Brendan Ranford, $500,000, Y:2018-RND:4-COL, Y:2020-RND:3-MIN.
“We think Clarke MacArthur can chip in a bit on the third line and if needed play up the line-up. It also gives us a chance to take a bit a pressure off of Ryan Hartman. Clarke was the leading goal scorer with the Sharks, but with us he will likely be more of a 200 foot player,” said Hurricanes GM Ron Jones
Carolina also added the versatile veteran Tommy Wingels to help on the farm. He can play any forward position and although he's more comfortable on the wing, the Panthers are a bit thin up the middle so he'll be given an opportunity to grab the second line center spot.
The next day the teams made another trade when Brendan Ranford refused to report so the Canes sent Daniel Pribyl to the Sharks instead.
