Another day, another Carolina Hurricanes unrestricted free agent contract extension. A day after re-upping with Derek Ryan, the Canes on Tuesday re-signed Patrick Brown to a one-year, two-way deal that will pay him $650,000 per year in the NHL or $165,000 in the AHL, with a salary guarantee of $190,000.
Brown spent his third professional season again shuttling between Carolina and the Charlotte Checkers, where he served as captain. In 14 games with the Hurricanes, Brown did not have a point, but he was more prolific with the Checkers, scoring a career-high 28 points in 66 AHL games.
