Hurricanes ink Dahlbeck to 1-year pact

Klas will be in session in Raleigh once again next fall.

The Carolina Hurricanes signed defenseman Klas Dahlbeck to a one-year contract extension worth $850,000.

Dahlbeck played mostly third-pairing minutes for Carolina this season, averaging under 14 minutes of ice time and contributing six points in 43 games.

The 25-year-old was a restricted free agent. His new deal will give him a $100,000 raise, in terms of his cap hit.

In October, Dahlbeck was claimed on waivers by the Hurricanes from the Arizona Coyotes, with whom he played 71 games in 2015-16.
