Get pumped for another year of breathless speculation about when Haydn Fleury will score his first NHL goal.
The Carolina Hurricanes and the restricted free agent defenseman agreed Tuesday to a new one-year contract. Fleury, coming off his entry-level deal, will receive a one-way salary of $850,000. He will be eligible for arbitration next summer, and will require clearing waivers to be assigned to the AHL this season.
Shortly thereafter, the Hurricanes also announced that defenseman Gustav Forsling has signed his qualifying offer, a two-way contract which will pay him $874,125 in the NHL and $70,000 in the AHL.
