Hurricanes Re-Sign Defenseman Borer & Goaltender Peters

The Carolina Hurricanes announced that they have re-signed defenseman Casey Borer and goaltender Justin Peters to one-year, two-way contracts. Their deals will be worth $500,000 at the NHL level and $100,000 at the AHL level. Borer appeared in three games last season with the Hurricanes, scoring no points. He also played in 51 games with Albany in the AHL, scoring four goals and six assists for 10 points. Peters did not appear in any NHL games last season, but did play in 56 games for Albany of the AHL. He posted a 19-30-4 record, four shutouts, a 2.89 GAA, and a .908 save percentage. These aren’t bad signings for the Hurricanes, as both players likely still have futures with the team, but for now, they are just depth signings. Borer has good size and good puck-handling abilities that could see him develop into a top-four defenseman down the road. Peters has not put up great numbers in the AHL, which could result in him seeing very little NHL action. However, he could still develop into a capable backup with the Hurricanes.
