It turns out the Hurricanes weren’t done trying to extend players. Fresh off of the Taylor Hall contract extension, the Hurricanes announced on Saturday that they had reached an agreement on a one year contract extension for goalie Frederik Andersen.
The deal acknowledges that Andersen has had trouble staying healthy during his Hurricanes tenure. The base number is for $2.75 million—a drop from his current $3.4 million per year that he signed back in 2023—however he has the ability to earn another $750,000 to bring it slightly above his current deal thanks to games played incentives.
