Encyclopedia
The 2009–10
Carolina Hurricanes
season
was the franchise's 38th
season, 31st season in the National Hockey League
and 13th as the Hurricanes.
On June 26, 2009, the Hurricanes drafted Philippe Paradis as their first-round, 27th overall selection. Prior to this, the Hurricanes hadn't had a first-round selection outside of the top 20 since they picked Jamie McBain in the 2nd round, 63rd overall in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.
On June 29, 2009, the Hurricanes announced that they have re-signed forward Jussi Jokinen to a 2-year contract, with him earning $1.5 million in the upcoming 2009-10 season, and $1.9 million in the 2010-11 season. Jokinen was acquired in a trade on February 7, 2009. He scored just one goal, but added 10 assists in 25 regular-season games, but was tied for 2nd on the team for playoff points with 11 points (7 goals + 4 assists) in 18 games.
On July 24, 2009, the Carolina Hurricanes re-acquired defenceman Aaron Ward from the Boston Bruins in exchange for Patrick Eaves and a 4th-round draft pick in 2010. Ward has previously played with the club when they won the Stanley Cup back in 2006.
On July 28, 2009, the Carolina Hurricanes announced that they have bought the remainder of the contract for defenceman Frantisek Kaberle. Kaberle was slated to make $2.2 million during the 2009-10 season, however, with the buyout, he will now receive two-thirds ($1,467,700) of that amount over the next two seasons. Kaberle played 214 games with the club over the span of 4 seasons.
