LaRose signs 2-year contract

Found July 02, 2009 on Lord Stanley's Blog:
PLAYERS: Chad LaRose,  Jussi Jokinen
TEAMS: Carolina Hurricanes

Nhl_may_06_29df
Canes forward Chad LaRose has signed a two-year contract that will pay him $1.5 million next year and $1.9 million in the second season, general manager Jim Rutherford said today. LaRose, an unrestricted free agent, had a one-year contract last season that paid him $875,000. Unable to reach an early agreement with the Canes, he tested the NHL's free-agent market for two days before re-signing with Carolina. "This works out fine," Rutherford said of the contract. "It's the same contract that we gave Jussi Jokinen. It makes sense within our structure and is justifiable to both sides." Jokinen, a restricted free agent forward, also received a two-year contract that will pau him a total of $3.4 million.

CHAD LAROSE!

Chad LaRose signed a two-year deal today, for the cheap cheap price of $1.5 this season and $1.9 the next!Well, this means the Canes are pretty much set for '09-'10, right? Haha, I wish. But I don't think it would be right to see LaRose in a jersey other than Carolina's. So it's very good that the Canes were able to retain him and all of his unstoppable energy.
