The Carolina Hurricanes announced that they had signed both Jake Bean and Julien Gauthier to entry level contracts. Today was also the end of development camp and Summerfest. I expected an entry level contract or two to be signed, however it wasn’t who I thought it would be. Being that the Carolina Hurricanes had drafted these two prospects (Bean at 13th overall; and Gauthier at 21st overall), has made me optimistic about the Carolina Hurricanes future.
Jake Bean
Defenseman Jake Bean signed a three- year entry- level contract. The deal will pay Bean $832,500 on the NHL level or $70,000 on the American Hockey League (AHL) level through his first three professional seasons.
