Carolina Hurricanes Trade Cliff Pu

February 25, 2019 at 11:33 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 4 Comments

The Carolina Hurricanes have traded a big part of the return for Jeff Skinner, sending prospect Cliff Pu to the Florida Panthers. While technically not the same trade, the Hurricanes have received Tomas Jurco in return. Jurco is on an AHL contract and had to be involved as a separate transaction.

Pu, 20, had recently been assigned to the ECHL after struggling in his first professional season. The former Buffalo Sabres prospect has just six points in 44 games with the Charlotte Checkers, and will now try to turn his young career around in his third organization. Pu along with three draft picks was the package the Hurricanes acquired for Skinner in the offseason, in a deal that now looks even worse for Carolina.

There’s still plenty of time for Pu to turn things around and develop into the big offensive threat he showed in junior, but the Checkers needed help now for a potential Calder Cup run this season. Carolina apparently believed Jurco’s addition was more valuable, and he will certainly bring a lot of experience to the table. The 26-year old forward has 10 points in 14 games with the Springfield Thunderbirds, and won a Calder Cup with the Grand Rapids Griffins in 2013.

Under an AHL contract, Jurco cannot be recalled to the NHL.

    As a Canes fan, I’m still good with the Skinner trade. Yes he’s a goal scorer, but I don’t think he would have fit into Roddy’s system here.

    Could’ve held on to Skinner and got a bounty at the deadline.

    There is nothing wrong with the Skinner trade even after this
