Scott Darling isn't going anywhere.

Despite being the subject of trade rumors, the Carolina Hurricanes netminder will remain with the team, general manager Don Waddell confirmed to Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer.

Darling joined the Hurricanes last summer but struggled through his first campaign in Carolina, posting an .888 save rate and just 13 victories in 43 appearances. The 29-year-old is under contract for three more seasons at a $4.15-million cap hit, per CapFriendly.

It remains to be seen how much ice time Darling will earn next season, as Waddell added the Hurricanes would like to bring in another goaltender and have reached out to five or six pending unrestricted free agents.

Waddell also said goalie Cam Ward is likely to become a free agent on July 1 after spending his entire career with the franchise.
