Defenceman Ethan Bear has signed a one-year deal with the Carolina Hurricanes, the club announced on Thursday.
The deal is for $2.2 million and will see the native of Regina, Sask., become an RFA after the season — one year away from unrestricted free agency.
Bear, 25, was drafted in the fifth round of the 2015 draft by the Edmonton Oilers but was traded to Carolina last summer for Warren Foegele.
The right-shooting rearguard has 13 goals and 34 assists for 47 points in 190 NHL games.
