The Carolina Hurricanes quietly made a signing this offseason which could have a big impact on this year’s team.
The Canes signed forward Derek Ryan to a one-year, two-way deal on June 16, and although the player’s future isn’t clear, he has one heck of a track record up to this point.
Ryan, 28, went undrafted out of the Spokane Chiefs of the WHL, so after his eligibility ran out there, he played in the CIS with the University of Alberta.
There, Derek Ryan shined as a high-end scorer, scoring 146 total points in 109 games at Alberta during his four-year career there.
