The Carolina Hurricanes on Monday made some personnel decisions, signing forward Derek Ryan and defenseman Trevor Carrick to one-year contracts and extending qualifying offers to forwards Brock McGinn and Phil Di Giuseppe and defenseman Jake Chelios.
Forward Andrej Nestrasil, who played 19 games for the Hurricanes last season and 115 in parts of three seasons, did not receive a qualifying offer. He will become an unrestricted free agent on July. 1, parting ways with the franchise that claimed him off waivers from the Detroit Red Wings in November 2014.
The Canes also did not extend qualifying offers to goalie Daniel Altshuller and forward Erik Karlsson, who already had announced he was returning to Sweden to play pro hockey.
