For the second year in a row, the Carolina Hurricanes have used their annual Summerfest to sign their newest team members.
Last year, it was Noah Hanifin doing the honors. This time, Jake Bean and Julien Gauthier put pen to paper and signed identical three-year entry level deals.
About Bean, GM Ron Francis said in a statement that he enjoyed getting to know the 13th pick better at this week's prospect camp. "He has a bright future in our organization and we are looking forward to seeing him again at the rookie tournament and during training camp.
