The Hurricanes traded Wisniewski to Anaheim in exchange for Anton Khudobin on Saturday, TSN's Jason Gregor reports. The move was largely a salary dump for the Ducks, as shortly after trading Wisniewski they acquired Carl Hagelin from the Rangers, a player that will command a high salary when he becomes a restricted free agent on July 1. Wisniewski will provide the Hurricanes with a strong veteran presence on the blue line. He also has some offensive upside, as he managed to tally 34 points in 69 games in 2014-15.
