The Carolina Hurricanes announced Thursday morning that they have re-signed Finnish forward Teuvo Teravainen to a two-year contract extension. The deal will pay him $2.86 million per season with the contract expiring at the conclusion of the 2018-19 season.
Teravainen was traded to the Hurricanes on June 15, 2016 - exactly one year ago - along with Bryan Bickell for a second round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft and a third round pick in the 2017 draft. Teravainen thrived with his new team, posting career highs in every statistical category.
