With his contract expiring, rumors have swirled about a potential trade, if the Hurricanes fail to present Skjei with the "fair" offer he desires.
Skjei, who has made his intentions clear, is seeking a new deal that reflects his value and contributions to the team. If Carolina fails to meet his expectations, the likelihood of him parting ways with the franchise increases significantly.
One team that has emerged as a front-runner in the Skjei sweepstakes is the Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers, in desperate need of a veteran presence on their blue line, view Skjei as an ideal fit to bolster their defensive corps.
As the offseason drama unfolds, all eyes will be on the Skjei situation, with the Flyers and their passionate fanbase eagerly anticipating the potential arrival of a much-needed reinforcement on the blue line.
