RALEIGH, N.C. - The Carolina Hurricanes signed forward Chad LaRose to a US$875,000, one-year contract on Wednesday.
The deal allowed the team to avoid going to salary arbitration with LaRose, who made $500,000 last year.
The 26-year-old LaRose has played three seasons with the Hurricanes. He had 23 points (11-12) in 58 games last season.
General manager Jim Rutherford said he expected the announcement to be the last signing for the team during the off-season.

“I was coming in to take the boards away and had some good jump. He bobbled the puck at the last second and I don’t think he saw me coming at all. It was a shoulder right in his chest. He’s eight feet tall, so it’s not like you could hit him in the head.”
- Ottawa's Chris Neil about a hit he threw on Tampa's Victor Hedman Thursday night, causing Hedman to leave the game.
