Given a weak rental market, and the fact Liles will become an unrestricted free agent this summer, he's "likely to move" Monday, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun.
Liles holds a cap hit of $3,875,000, but if a deal is made for the 35-year-old, the club will be unable to retain any of his salary. The Hurricanes are at the three-contract limit regarding the number of traded players they can retain money on this season.
They are currently paying off portions of contracts for Staal, Jay Harrison, and Tuomo Ruutu.
Liles has amassed six goals and 15 points in 64 games this season.

Brooks Laich and Alex Ovechkin had been teammates for nearly ten years with the Washington Capitals, and now as the team looks like a favorite to win the Stanley Cup, the two are being split.
Laich was dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs late Sunday in a deal that sent Daniel Winnik to the Capitals. Shortly after word broke about the deal, Washington's captain took to Twitter to wish his longtime friend the best.
Me and u together since my 1st year..We make this team together! Im gonna miss u bro good luck to u!Gonna miss u! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/feKvUGV6TK
After playing one game for the Ottawa Senators during the 2003-04 season, Laich played his next 742 alongside Ovechkin in Washington, and was long a fan favorite at Verizon Center.
With his $4.5 million cap hit limiting the Capitals' options both this season and next, the 32-year-old now moves from the first-place team in the NHL to the last-place Leafs - but some believe he may be as big a part of a Washington championship run regardless of where he's playing.
If the Capitals win this whole thing, they better give Brooks Laich a ring and his day with the Cup.
