After a nine-year tenure with the Carolina Hurricanes, Brett Pesce is reportedly crossing over to their Metropolitan Division rivals, the New Jersey Devils.
Brett Pesce has enjoyed a lengthy and mostly dominant career with the Carolina Hurricanes, except for this season. However, after nine years with the team, the 29-year-old defenseman is now a free agent. Unsurprisingly, he has attracted interest from several teams, including the New Jersey Devils.
However, it seems these persistent trade rumors hold weight. The New Jersey Devils, a Metropolitan Division rival of Carolina, now stand as the leading contender to acquire Pesce on July 1st, bringing the New York native back to his hometown roots.
With less than a week until free agency starts, there's still time for these trade talks to develop. Nevertheless, with the current buzz, Brett Pesce could begin the next season donning the New Jersey Devils jersey.
