Teuvo Teravainen - W - Hurricanes
Teuvo Teravainen has signed a five-year, $27 million contract extension with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Teravainen's new deal, which goes through the 2023-24 campaign, will have an average annual value of $5.4 million per season. "Teuvo has improved every year of his NHL career and has established himself as a cornerstone forward for the Hurricanes now and into the future," said GM Don Waddell. "He has shown that he is capable of adapting and expanding his role with our team, becoming a key penalty killer for Rod this season. He's still just 24 years old and we believe he will only continue to grow as a player." He generated 64 points in 82 games last season and has 39 points through 48 matches this year.
