The Carolina Hurricanes have signed Quinnipiac defenceman Charles-Alexis Legault to a three-year, entry-level deal, the team announced Monday.
Legault, 20, will receive $775,000 in the 2024-25 season, $832,500 in 2025-26 and $855,000 in 2026-27 at the NHL level.
“Charles-Alexis is a physical defenceman who uses his size well,” said Hurricanes GM Don Waddell in a team release. “He made great strides in his offensive game this season, and we think he’s ready to continue his development at the professional level.”
Legault led all NCAA Division I skaters in plus/minus this season and recorded nine goals and 15 assists in 39 NCAA games. He was selected by the Hurricanes in the fifth round of the 2023 NHL Draft.
