Seth Jarvis Inks Eight-Year Extension With Hurricanes

Carolina Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis has signed an eight-year extension. The two parties came to an agreement on a $63.2 million pact. Jarvis was a restricted free agent. The 22-year-old cashes in on a big season. After amassing 79 points (31 goals, 48 assists) in his first two NHL campaigns, Jarvis notched 33 goals and 67 points in 81 outings last season. He added a team-best five goals and four assists in 11 playoff games. The Winnipeg-born forward still has a lot of room to grow as a player, and barring any injuries, Jarvis could get close to being a point-per-game player in 2024-25.

Canadiens And Flyers Named Among Martin Necas' Suitors

Carolina Hurricanes forward Martin Necas will have no issues landing a new job if he decides to leave Raleigh in the offseason.

Necas has completed a two-year, $6 million deal and will be a restricted free agent in the summer. Multiple reports have suggested that he won't sign an extension with the Hurricanes. Necas, who just won the 2024 World Championship with Czechia, had a down year in 2023-24 with 53 points (24 goals, 29 assists) in 77 games. A move elsewhere could give him a new lease of life.

Sebastian Aho Notches Two Points In Game 6 Loss

Carolina Hurricanes center Sebastian Aho led the charge in Game 6 against the Rangers on Thursday, but his efforts weren't enough as the team got dumped out of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 5-3 defeat. Aho recorded a power-play helper when Seth Jarvis scored early in the second period, and he put the Hurricanes 3-1 up in the middle of the frame. However, the Rangers roared back with four third-period goals, meaning Aho's 2024 postseason ends with 12 points (four goals, eight assists) in 11 games. He can be happy about his contributions after also enjoying a career year with 89 points (36 goals, 53 assists) in 78 games during the regular season. With him turning only 27 in the summer, Aho looks set to be a top-tier fantasy asset for years to come.
