The Canes are trying to add a forward, something that could happen in the next 48 hours.
They're concerned about their NHL depth with Justin Williams out indefinitely and Matt Cullen's recovery from his concussion proceeding slowly. The price would probably be a draft pick or low-level prospect.
The Canes are continuing to pursue a puck-moving defenseman as well, at a much higher price, but you can read all about that in the Tuesday newspaper.
Ludicrous internet rumors aside, don't look for the Canes to start dumping players unless they're clearly out of contention at the deadline.
