The Carolina Hurricanes have agreed to terms with Logan Stankoven on an eight-year, $48 million extension that will kick in for the 2026-27 season.

Stankoven, 22, was traded to the Hurricanes in exchange for Mikko Rantanen at the trade deadline and he's fit in like a glove.

“From the moment he arrived in Raleigh, it was clear to us that Logan was a Hurricane,” said Carolina general manager Eric Tulsky in a press release. “We’re thrilled that he agrees, and is committed to being a big part of this organization long term.”

The rookie had five goals and nine points in 19 regular season games in Carolina, but he was a playoff beast with five goals and eight points in 15 games.

Stankoven might be a smaller player, but his hard-nosed, direct style of play makes him extremely noticeable whenever he's on the ice.

The Canes are making a big bet on a rookie with just 102 games of NHL experience, but it's one they're confident will work out and if Stankoven keeps progressing, that $6 million AAV will be a real steal.
