The Carolina Hurricanes and restricted free-agent forward Brock McGinn have reportedly avoided arbitration by agreeing to a two-year contract, according to Sportsnet's Elliot Friedman.

The deal is worth $1.9 million in Year 1 and $2.3 million in Year 2.

McGinn's arbitration hearing was scheduled for Saturday- the first official day of meetings.

The 25-year-old winger contributed 10 goals and 26 points in 82 games last season and added six points in 15 playoff contests.

It's common for the team and player to reach an agreement before arbitration. Last summer, 40 of 44 players ultimately signed with their respective teams before reaching their hearing dates. This summer, McGinn marks the 13th player to sign before their scheduled meeting.
