Hurricanes pursuing extension with Svechnikov
Carolina Hurricanes president and general manager Don Waddell says the team is in contract extension talks with 20-year-old winger Andrei Svechnikov. The No. 2 overall draft pick from 2018 has one year left on his entry-level deal before becoming a restricted free agent. Waddell said the team is “open-minded” about the potential structure of an extension, possibly including a short-term “bridge” deal due to economic uncertainty from the coronavirus pandemic before pursuing a longer-term agreement later. Svechnikov played alongside Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen on Carolina’s top line, tallying 24 goals and 37 assists in the pandemic-shortened regular season. He also had the first postseason hat trick in franchise history during the Hurricanes' win against the New York Rangers in a Stanley Cup qualifier series.
