Hurricanes Re-Sign Forwards Dwyer and Ryan to New Deals

The Carolina Hurricanes announced on Wednesday that they have signed right wing Patrick Dwyer to a two-year, two-way contract extension worth $1 million and center Michael Ryan to a one-year, two-way contract extension. Dwyer appeared in 13 games last season with the Hurricanes, his first in the NHL, scoring one goal. Ryan appeared in 18 games last season with the Hurricanes, scoring two assists. These are merely depth signings for Carolina, so one shouldn’t read into them too much. Both players provided adequate offensive depth and skill to the Hurricanes’ AHL affiliate in Albany last season, so they will likely spend most of next season in the AHL unless the Hurricanes get ravaged with injuries.
