Hurricanes Re-Sign Justin Krueger to One-Year Deal

The Carolina Hurricanes have announced that they have re-signed defenseman Justin Krueger to a one-year, two-way contract.  The deal will pay him $600,000 at the NHL level and $90,000 at the AHL level.  If he spends the entire 2012-13 season in the minors, he will make $105,000.  He would have been a restricted free agent on July 1.  In 58 games last season with Charlotte of the AHL, he had two goals and 11 assists for 13 points.  He has yet to appear in an NHL game.  This is really just a depth signing for the Hurricanes, as Krueger will likely spend all of next season in the minors.
