Hurricanes Sign Forward Samson to Two-Year Deal

The Carolina Hurricanes have announced that they have signed right wing Jerome Samson to a two-year, two-way contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He was eligible for restricted free agency on July 1. In seven games last season with the Hurricanes, he had two assists. He also appeared in 74 games with Albany of the AHL, scoring 37 goals and 41 assists for 78 points. Not a bad depth signing for the Hurricanes, as Samson has some offensive upside and has proven that he can produce points at lower levels. Depending on how he performs at training camp, he could secure a spot with the team on the fourth line next season.
