RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes have signed free-agent defenseman Tomas Kaberle to a three-year contract worth $12.75 million.
The Hurricanes announced the signing Tuesday, shortly after they traded defenseman Joe Corvo to Boston for a draft pick.
The 33-year-old Kaberle was dealt from Toronto to Boston at the trading deadline and helped the Bruins win the Stanley Cup. His brother, Frantisek, was a member of the Hurricanes’ 2006 Cup-winning team.
Tomas Kaberle had a combined four goals and 43 assists with the Maple Leafs and Bruins during the regular season, and had another 11 assists during the playoffs.
