A week after the Callum Booth signing, the Carolina Hurricanes sign their 2016 second round pick Janne Kuokkanen. Kuokkanen was a former player of the Finnish Elite League Kärpät development teams. If Kärpät sounds familiar to Canes fans it is because that was the exact same club that rookie phenom Sebastian Aho played for.
In their official release on the signing, Ron Francis had this to say about the Finnish Winger:
Janne was outstanding in our rookie tournament in Traverse City in September, and stayed in North America to continue his development in the Ontario Hockey League.
