Overview

  • The eight-year extension carries a $6 million average annual value for the 22-year-old forward.
  • Carolina acquired Stankoven from the Dallas Stars in February’s Mikko Rantanen trade.
  • He recorded five goals in 19 regular-season games and added five more in 15 playoff contests, including a two-goal debut in the conference quarterfinals.
  • General manager Eric Tulsky said the organization viewed Stankoven as “a Hurricane” from his first day in Raleigh.
  • By securing his long-term deal, the Hurricanes maintain ample salary-cap flexibility ahead of free agency.
