The Carolina Hurricanes continue towards building a contender signing veteran Paul Stastny today to a one year $1,500,000 million dollar deal.
The 36-year-old scored 21 goals and had 45 points in 71 games with the Winnipeg Jets last season.
"Paul is an extremely reliable veteran who has been effective at both ends of the ice for his entire career," Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell said. "He adds even more experience and leadership to our forward group, and we are excited to have him in Carolina."
Stastny will add leadership as he's been in the NHL since being drafted in the second round of the 2005 NHL Draft by the Colorado Avalanche.
He is coming off a one-year, $3.75 million contract. The Hurricanes sign Stastny to take the place of Max Pacoritty who's going to out for while after having Achilles surgery.
