RALEIGH, N.C. — Logan Stankoven is going to call the Tarheel State home for the next eight years.

The Carolina Hurricanes have re-signed the 22-year-old Kamloops native to an eight-year, US $48 million contract extension, with an annual cap hit of US $6 million.

It will kick in in the 2026-27 season, as Stankoven has one season left on his entry-level contract that carries a cap hit of US $814,167. He will become an unrestricted free agent in 2034, at the age of 31.

The former Kamloops Blazers captain was acquired from the Dallas Stars at the trade deadline in March in the Mikko Rantanen trade.

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