RALEIGH, N.C. - Erik Cole is staying in Carolina.
The Hurricanes re-signed the free-agent winger to a US$5.8-million, two-year deal on Wednesday.
Cole has spent the majority of his career in Carolina, save for the 63 games he played in Edmonton last season before getting dealt back to the Hurricanes at the trade deadline.
The 30-year-old had 18 goals and 42 points in 80 games last season.
He briefly became an unrestricted free agent before agreeing to terms with the Hurricanes.

“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.
