Raleigh, N.C. — The Carolina Hurricanes added depth to their defensive group Monday with the signing of Dan Renouf to a one-year, two-way deal.
Renouf, 24, will earn $650,000 at the NHL level or $70,000 at the AHL level with a guarantee of at least $100,000.
“Dan is a sturdy, reliable defenseman,” Carolina President and General Manager Don Waddell. “He’ll be a steady presence on the blue line in our system.”
Renouf tallied 12 points (2 goals, 10 assists) in 73 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins, the minor league affiliate of the Detroit Red Wings. Renouf has 29 points in 146 games at the AHL level.
Renouf has played in one NHL game, a March 27, 2017, meeting between Detroit and Carolina.
He signed with the Red Wings as an undrafted free agent in 2016.
