Carolina signs college FA Chase PriskieAugust 17, 2019 | 10:06 AM

Chase Priskie has signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Carolina Hurricanes. Priskie will make $832,500 per season at the NHL level and $70,000 per season at the AHL level along with a signing bonus of $185,000. "Chase was one of the best defensemen in college hockey last season," said Hurricanes GM Waddell. "We believe he has a bright future in the NHL, and we're thrilled that he has chosen to come to Carolina." He was a top-10 Hobby Baker Award finalist in 2018-19 after he picked up 17 goals and 39 points in 36 games with Quinnipiac. Priskie told the Washington Capitals back in April that he would become an unrestricted free agent and that happened on August 15. The Capitals selected him in the sixth round of the 2016 NHL Draft.
