The Carolina Hurricanes have signed top center Sebastian Aho to an eight-year contract extension worth $78 million. It's the richest contract in franchise history. Once the deal goes into effect for the 2024-25 NHL season Aho will count $9.75 million against the salary cap from that point through 2032. The 26-year-old Finn has 468 points in 520 career regular-season games all with Carolina. General manager Don Waddell said Aho has developed into one of the best two-way centers in hockey and sets a great example for younger players.
