The Score breaks news regarding Erik Karlsson's next destination

The 33-year-old defenseman confirmed he's had discussions with several teams, including the Carolina Hurricanes, Pittsburgh Penguins, Seattle Kraken, and Toronto Maple Leafs.

Karlsson expressed his desire to join a contending team, following a stellar season where he tallied a career-high 25 goals and 101 points.

However, his massive $11.5 million cap hit, full no-move clause, and four years left on his contract present challenges for potential suitors.

The Hurricanes appear to have the most cap space among the teams Karlsson mentioned.
