The Carolina Hurricanes could be a very busy organization over the next few weeks, as more than a few NHL general managers have reportedly inquired about their roster.

One of the players generating attention is forward Jeff Skinner, with sources indicating to The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun that Carolina is looking for a first-round pick and a prospect in exchange for the smooth-skating sniper.

Despite racking up 89 goals and 163 points over the last three seasons, Skinner has been mentioned in several reports regarding a move out of Raleigh in recent years.

The former seventh overall pick is set to become a UFA on July 1, 2019.
