Carolina passes on this deal. They've been looking to acquire forwards all season and while Brassard would be an upgrade over Rask, he's merely a rental. As for Maatta, he doesn't really fit into their long-term plans. If you look at their current defense, everyone is under team control for at least another season. With Slavin, De Haan and Fleury on the left side Maatta probably wouldn't see top-four minutes with the Hurricanes.
