The Carolina Hurricanes have re-signed former first-round pick Ryan Murphy to a two-year, $1.575-million contract.
The blue-liner split last season between the Hurricanes and the team's American Hockey League affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers. He went goalless with 10 assists in 35 games with the big club, while contributing seven goals and 24 points in 32 AHL contests.
"Ryan is still a young player at 23, and has shown he can contribute offensively from the blue line," general manager Ron Francis said in a release. "He has developed through our system and we look forward to seeing his game continue to grow."
With the signing the Hurricanes have now inked all of their restricted free agents.
