It was just announced that the Carolina Hurricanes have signed Zach Aston-Reese to a PTO.
Aston-Reese impressed with the Maple Leafs last season playing in all but five of their regular season games. He was primarily used as a defensive forward who could kill penalties.
While Aston-Reese doesn't let his opponents score, he does not score too often himself posting only 10 goals and 14 points last season.
He will now look to help the Hurricanes on their quest for the Stanley Cup.
