05/21/2012 14:28 Carolina Hurricanes re-sign defenseman Jamie McBain for two seasons
The 'Canes announced on Monday that they have re-signed restricted free agent Jamie McBain to a two-year extension. The deal will pay $1.7 million in 2012-13 and then $1.9 million in the second season of the deal, for a cap hit of $1.8 million.
McBain enjoyed a fine sophomore season, tallying 30 points (7 G, 23 A) in 76 games for Carolina last year. An excellent passer, McBain could establish himself as a top-pairing defenseman with a little more experience. But despite his offensive talents grabbing all the headlines, the young blueliner's skills in his own zone continue to improve, which bodes well for his level of playing time in 2011-12. McBain had shoulder surgery after the conclusion of the regular season, but considering that he was able to finish out the campaign with the injury, it probably isn't much of a concern.
