Coghlan played only 1 game with the Hurricanes last season, as he spent the majority of the year with their AHL affiliate team, the Springfield Thunderbirds, where he picked up 16 goals and 25 assists in 61 games.
Coghlan is an RFA and is known to have a hard shot. Things didn't seem to work out so much for him in Carolina, where he only played that 1 game. The Jets are hoping his big shot from the blue line can help boost their powerplay.
