Hurricanes' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Brought in via trade

Van Riemsdyk was acquired by the Hurricanes from the Golden Knights on Thursday, Frank Seravalli of TSN reports.

Analysis:

This deal was rumored to be in the works during the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft. Van Riemsdyk joins Carolina after being on the Vegas roster for less than 24 hours. The blueliner notched 16 points in 58 contests for the Blackhawks last season and could break through the 20-point threshold if he can stay healthy for a full 82-game campaign in 2017-18. The 'Canes will also get a 2018 seventh-round selection in exchange for the 62nd overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft.
