The Carolina Hurricanes have agreed to terms with centre Brandon Sutter on a three-year contract.
The deal will pay Sutter an average of $2.067 million per year. The deal is worth $1.5 million in 2011-12, $2 million in 2012-13 and $2.7 million in 2013-14.
“Brandon is one of the cornerstones of our franchise moving forward,” said the team's President and General Manager Jim Rutherford. “He is an extremely intelligent player who can perform in all situations, and has already grown into a leadership position for the Hurricanes at a very young age.”
The 22-year-old tallied 14 goals, 15 assists and added 29 penalty minutes while suiting up in all 82 games for the Hurricanes last season.
Sutter played parts of three seasons with the Albany River Rats, appearing in 36 games for Albany between 2008 and 2010 while spending most of his time with the Hurricanes. Sutter's most productive season as a Rat came in 2008-09 when he registered 4 goals and 8 assists in 22 games.
