Terrell Williams of the Carolina Hurricanes: The Hurricanes have signed recently acquired goaltender Scott Darling to a four-year, $16.6 million contract – a $4.15 million salary cap hit.
“Obviously Scott could have waited until July 1, to see what other options he might have as an unrestricted free agent,” said Francis. “But he believes in what we are trying to do here and we are thrilled that he is committing to the Hurricanes and to Raleigh.”
The Hurricanes sent a third round pick that was previously acquired from Ottawa to the Chicago Blackhawks.
Chris Johnston: Need to remember that the Hurricanes were buying UFA years as he would have been a free agent on July 1st.
