[MillionDollarCam]

Per: Hurricanes.com

The Canes have agreed to terms with forward: Derek Ryan and defenseman: Trevor Carrick

- Ryan signed a one year deal that will pay him $1.425 million for the 2017-18 season. Ryan set career high's in goals (11), assists (18), and points (29) last year. He was also a finalist for the Masterton Trophy. Ryan was previously the MVP for the Swedish Hockey League before signing with Carolina as a free agent last year.

Ideally Derek will slot in as the 4C and provide that line with a little offense. However, Francis, Peters, and co. could easily give him the keys to the third line again.

- Trevor Carrick was signed to a one year/two way contract that will pay him $670,000 at the NHL level and $77,500 at the AHL level. Carrick had 4 goals and 12 assists last year for the Checkers. He id considered one of the Canes top defenseman prospects along with Haydn Fleury, Roland McKeown, and Jake Bean. Carrick was originally drafted in the 4th round of the 2012 NHL Draft by Carolina, he has appeared in two NHL games in his career.
