Some PTO players end up signing with different teams after camp (i.e., Owen Nolan, Brendan Morrison) - still a chance he has Vancouver as an option.

He may also be the type of player that only wants to play in the US (even though he’s Canadian)

Yeah, many players wanna play in the US - but his options may be limited. Maybe he wants to contend, maybe he wants term. We really haven't had any insight from his camp. Hoping he signs a 1 or 2 year deal here still if there's no other options for D improvements on the horizon.

Does not mean we can't still sign him. PTO is not binding for a player. If another team offers him an actual contract, I believe it gives Hurricanes a first right of refusal, but nothing more.

Can he still negotiate with other teams when signed to a PTO?

 

Im surprised no one offered him an actual contract to be honest. Or maybe they did and he didn’t like the offers? This is a chance to prove he deserves more than league min?

Yes, he can still sign an NHL contract with another team.

I mean you’d think if he wanted to sign here he would have.
 

We can offer much more opportunity than the Hurricanes. But maybe he’s more interested in trying to get on with a cup contender, who knows?

In past, we've seen players who have a PTO signed with a team, sign a contract with another team. PTO doesn't guarantee a player anything other than insurance and basic expenses I believe

Can't blame him for picking Carolina, if they'd had Anderson they'd have likely made the conference final. They've consistently been in the mix the past four seasons. 

he doesn't really have competition for the 3LD spot there either. Fun team, very good chance of a spot, lots of LTIR money, kind of a no-brainer.
