So this hit the wires on Thursday. Apparently, according to several outlets, Jack Drury requested a trade from the Canes last season. The 42nd overall pick in the 2018 draft has been used sparingly and was only brought up for good this season when both Max Pacioretty and Andre Svetchnikov went down with injuries.

Jack Drury, a former second round pick of the Carolina Hurricanes reportedly requested a trade out of town last season. Rumors are swirling that the Hurricanes may be willing to accommodate that request.

Drury has taken a very interesting path to the NHL. Drafted out of the USHL in 2018, Drury then spent two years playing for the men's hockey program at Harvard University. He then left school during the pandemic to spend a year playing for Vaxjo in the Swedish Hockey League before finally joining the Hurricanes organization.

After a year in the AHL with the Chicago Wolves, Drury split this past season with Chicago and Carolina, where he was productive in Chicago, but struggled to find ice time in Carolina.

The Hurricanes are a perennially strum NHL outfit and forward spots have been limited to younger prospects.

Drury has been blocked at his natural center ice position by Sebastian Aho, Jordan Staal, and Jesperi Kotkaniemi.

With rumors of Alex DeBrincat wanting out of Ottawa, maybe the Hurricanes can accommodate Drury's request and send him to Canada's capital. The Hurricanes are in need of elite wingers and Ottawa may be the perfect place for Drury to get a fresh start and more playing time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would suggest that he may be right, given the fact he's buried on the depth chart and, just completing his 5th full season under contract, he wants to go somewhere he can play full time. Can't say I blame him and, to be honest, he may be a trade piece necessary to bring one of the few pieces Carolina needs to get this team over the top.

Didnt know he requested a trade last year. Yeah if he doesnt want to be here, then ship him out. Idk, maybe shouldve started scoring when it mattered and we would prioritize you more?

I get what you're saying, but the guy has never really had the opportunity to play with the big boys consistently. So, maybe get something for him and let him have an opportunity elsewhere.

Waddell always seems to wiff these kind of trades though…

      Ward 1, Hunter, maybe 2. Per McShay

      Eh. Evero has been here through now 2 coaching regimes. He also pushed for guys like DJ Johnson and has apparently had significant enough input on some free agency moves too. At this point nobody knows about Canales. Even Bryce Young's progress has to be taken with a grain of salt. The rubber has to meet the road in a big way in 2025. But I think it's fair to say the plan from the front office seems to be to let Canales focus on the offense. Although some people could rightly argue he needs to be more hands on across the roster given the fact his defense was 32/32 last season. And look let's be real here. Virtually everyone here is going to agree Rhule was a conman and not a good NFL head coach by any means. But he did swindle our owner out of a generational amount of money. That cannot be understated. With Reich though while he was not the man for the job he didn't even coach here a full season. Saying he didn't develop anyone while giving our front office a pass for their egregiously subpar drafting before and after he was gone (see our 2024 2nd round pick) seems odd. The simple fact of the matter is we need to both draft significantly better and we need to develop talent better.

      There is literally no risk to this move.  They are constantly churning the bottom of the roster.  Bringing them in has no impact on their tight end decisions for this coming season.
