Hurricanes Sign Jussi Jokinen to Two-Year Contract Extension

The Carolina Hurricanes announced on Monday that they have signed right wing Jussi Jokinen to a two-year contract extension worth $3.4 million. The deal averages out to $1.7 million per season. The Hurricanes acquired Jokinen back in February from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Wade Brookbank and Josef Melichar. In 71 games last season with the Lightning and Hurricanes, Jokinen scored seven goals and 20 assists for 27 points. In 306 career games, he has 54 goals and 118 assists for 172 points with the Dallas Stars, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Carolina Hurricanes. This is a good signing for the Hurricanes, as Jokinen has decent two-way skills, a great shot, and plenty of offensive depth. His skills on the power play make him and effective special teams player. Jokinen struggled to find his offensive touch last season with the abysmal Lightning, but played very well for the Hurricanes in the playoffs. Look for him to play at the same skill level next season that he did in this past season's playoffs.
