The Carolina Hurricanes announced on Tuesday that they have signed goaltender Nikita Quapp to a two-year, entry-level contract. The contract will pay Quapp $55,000 at the AHL level and $775,000 at the NHL level.
Nikita Quapp is used to standing out, not just because of his height—an impressive 6-foot-4, 203 pounds—but also for his goaltending ability and extensive experience despite his young age.
