The Carolina Hurricanes have secured forward Eric Robinson with a four-year contract extension worth $6.8 million. This deal, confirmed by GM Eric Tulsky, will see Robinson's cap hit set at $1.7 million annually through the 2028-29 season. Last season, Robinson achieved personal bests with 14 goals and 32 points, contributing to the Hurricanes' impressive playoff run to the Eastern Conference final. Tulsky highlighted Robinson's size and speed as key attributes that align with Carolina's competitive style.

With Robinson now firmly integrated into their roster, the Hurricanes aim to continue their playoff streak, which has reached seven years under head coach Rod Brind'Amour. Despite only limited playoff experience previously with Columbus, Robinson's performance last season suggested he has found his stride in the postseason. Carolina's strategic moves, including this extension, position them strongly for future success.
