The Hurricanes added another defenseman to their group as they recently signed Caleb Jones to a one-year contract worth $775,000. Jones played in Chicago last season and had a career high with 16 points in 73 games with the Hawks.
Canes GM Don Waddell was quoted as saying, “Caleb is a reliable, two-way defenseman,” said Waddell. “His NHL experience will help boost our depth on defense.”
One might assume that “Turtleneck Don” would have something else up his sleeve but Jones could just be another depth signing in case of an injury within the top six.
