The Carolina Hurricanes have acquired winger Jesse Puljujarvi in a trade with the Edmonton Oilers. The move comes with the NHL waiting for the New York Rangers to finalize a deal with Chicago for Patrick Kane. Minnesota also acquired well-traveled forward Marcus Johansson from busy Washington. The Capitals traded Boston’s first-round pick this year and veteran Erik Gustafsson to Toronto for young defenseman Rasmus Sandin and got a third-rounder in 2024 back from the Wild for Johansson. The Islanders also got forward Pierre Engvall from the Maple Leafs.
