The Carolina Hurricanes have signed forward Seth Jarvis to an eight-year, $63.2 million contract, general manager Eric Tulsky announced Saturday.
The deal, which had been in the works this summer, includes a $29.24 million signing bonus.
“Seth is a cornerstone player for our franchise,” Tulsky said in a statement. “He took another huge step last season, playing in all situations and displaying the skill and competitive drive that will make him a star in this league in the years to come.”
Jarvis, 22, was a restricted free agent who has become a proven contributor for the Hurricanes, scoring 33 goals last season and totaling 13 playoff goals in his first three seasons.
