However, he doesn't appear to have an offer on the table yet. Ellis would like to re-sign with the Hurricanes. Carolina GM Jim Rutherford said that the team's unrestricted free agents will probably remained unsigned prior to the start of free agency, but there's still a chance that Ellis will be kept in the fold.

Carolina GM Jim Rutherford said he expects the team's unrestricted free agent group to remain unsigned going into July 5.

Marc-Andre Bergeron - D - Hurricanes

Marc-Andre Bergeron, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent in July, may return to Carolina if his salary expectations are reasonable.

Canes GM Jim Rutherford, who acquired Bergeron from Tampa in March, would like to have him back. Bergeron had a calming influence on the Hurricane power play and as long as his contract demands are modest, his chances of playing in Carolina are pretty good. That said, it will be a late signing if he returns. Bergeron, along with fellow UFAs Dan Ellis and Joe Corvo are expected to test the free agent market, at least initially.

Alexander Semin - W - Hurricanes

Alexander Semin says his head is feeling good after suffering a concussion to end the season.

Semin missed the last two games of the regular season because of the concussion, which has apparently healed while Semin spends the offseason in Russia. Semin would've been an unrestricted free agent this summer, but the Hurricanes signed the winger to a five-year extension worth $7 million per season at the end of March. Semin had 13 goals and 44 points in 44 games this season.

Eric Staal - C - Hurricanes

Eric Staal (knee) said Tuesday he hopes to resume skating in July.

Staal addressed the media briefly at Tuesday's announcement of the Hurricanes' new home and road jerseys. According to some of the beat corps, it appeared that Staal still had a limp, which isn't all that surprising. The Hurricanes' captain suffered a third-degree sprain of his right MCL during the world championships, but at the time, the injury looked a lot worse. Staal appears on track to be ready for training camp.

Gregory Hofmann - C - Hurricanes

Gregory Hofmann will be eligible for the 2013 NHL Entry Draft after the Carolina Hurricanes failed to get him under contract.

"We wanted to sign Gregory to a contract, and felt that he could have a future with the Hurricanes on the NHL level," GM Jim Rutherford said in a statement. "It is disappointing that we were unable to reach an agreement with his agent to keep him in our organization." Hofmann, who the Canes took with the 103rd overall selection in the 2011 draft, recorded 16 goals and 27 points with Davos in Switzerland's top league this past season.

Eric Staal - C - Hurricanes

Eric Staal has sustained only a third-degree, right-knee sprain of his MCL that will not require surgery.

The MRI results are in and the news is as good as the Hurricanes could have hoped for. Staal will need three months to rehabilitate the injury but will not need to go under the knife. If all goes well, Staal should be good to go once training camp opens in September. All Staal owners in keeper leagues can exhale now.

Eric Staal - C - Hurricanes

There is no word yet on the results of Eric Staal's MRI.

He is undergoing the imaging on his knee sometime Saturday in Raleigh. The Canes and Staal's owners have their fingers crossed. The hope is that he has a severe sprain and not a torn ligament as a result of his knee-on-knee collision with Alexander Edler at the IIHF World Championships.

Eric Staal - C - Hurricanes

Eric Staal suffered what appeared to be a serious knee injury in Canada's quarterfinal shootout loss to Sweden at the IIHF World Championships.

He received a knee-on-knee hit from Alexander Edler, who was assessed a major for kneeing, with 4:14 left in the first period. Staal wasn't able to put any weight on his leg as he was helped off the ice. "It's unfortunate and hopefully it's not too serious," Carolina GM Jim Rutherford said. "If it is serious, hopefully there will be enough recovery time for him to be ready for next season. We'll just hope for the best." He will have an MRI exam in Stockholm from NHL doctors.
