Hurricanes Re-sign Ronan Seeley to One-Year Two-Way Contract

Avoiding a scheduled arbitration hearing, the deal keeps Seeley under team control on a low-risk pact that preserves Carolina’s roster flexibility.

Overview

  • The Hurricanes and Ronan Seeley agreed to a one-year, two-way contract announced Thursday that pays $850,000 at the NHL level, $100,000 at the AHL level, and includes a $160,000 guaranteed minimum.
  • Seeley made his NHL debut in Carolina’s final regular-season game and is expected to return to a middle-pair role with the AHL Chicago Wolves while serving as a call-up option for the Hurricanes.
  • He posted career highs with 11 goals and 23 points in 69 regular-season games and served as an alternate captain during the Wolves’ run to the Calder Cup Final.
  • The signing ends the lone scheduled arbitration hearing for Carolina and lets the team retain a controllable depth defenseman on a cost-effective contract after winning its second Stanley Cup.
  • A seventh-round pick in 2020 who began pro life with an ECHL promotion, Seeley’s steady AHL development and playoff experience put him in line for a larger NHL opportunity or stronger leverage as an RFA next offseason.
