Hurricanes re-sign Foegele to 1-year, $2.15M deal

The Carolina Hurricanes re-signed forward Warren Foegele to a one-year, $2.15-million contract, the team announced Sunday.

Foegele was a restricted free agent, so the two sides have avoided going to arbitration.

"Warren has shown improvement each year of his professional career," general manager Don Waddell said. "We expect him to continue to develop and enhance his role on our team."

The 24-year-old established career highs in goals (13) and assists (17) in 68 contests during the 2019-20 season. He averaged 13:43 minutes of ice time per game.

Carolina drafted Foegele in the third round in 2014. He's amassed 25 goals and 23 assists in 147 NHL games.
