BREAKING: Hockey Player Involved In The 2018 World Juniors Team Signs New Contract
Today a player from the 2018 Canadian World Junior team has signed a new contract with an NHL team. This is the first signing of a player from that team since arrests were made in the scandal surrounding the team.
Canadian World Junior Player Signs A New NHL Contract
Tonight the Carolina Hurricanes announced a major move. They have signed forward Maxime Comtois to a one-year two-way deal.
#Canes have signed free agent forward Max Comtois to a one-year, two-way contract. $775K NHL / $250K AHL. #CauseChaos
Comtois who was drafted by the Anaheim Ducks in the second round has had a turbulent career. Early on in his NHL career he showed immense promise and looked to be a key part of the Ducks' future. Lack of consistency and injuries eventually led to his departure from the team.
Now Comtois, who was not implicated in the World Juniors scandal, will get a fresh start in Carolina where he will look to rebuild his NHL career. He will likely report to the AHL where he will get his first looks at game action.
