Hurricanes sign Seth Jarvis to three-year, entry-level contract
The Carolina Hurricanes have signed center Seth Jarvis, their first-round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, to a three-year, entry-level contract, the team announced Monday.
“Seth is an extremely talented player with elite puck skills and scoring ability,” Canes president and general manager Don Waddell said in a statement. “He has a very bright future, and we are excited to watch him continue his development into an NHL player.”
Jarvis, 18, will be paid $832,500 at the NHL level or $80,000 at the American Hockey League level for all three seasons, the Canes said. He also receives a signing bonus of $277,500.
The Canes made Jarvis the 13th overall pick of the 2020 draft. He had 42 goals and 56 assists in 58 games last season for the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League. The 5-10, 172-pound Jarvis ranked second in the WHL in points, third in goals and tied for fifth in assists. The Winnipeg native had a point in 45 of 58 games and 28 multi-point games.
Jarvis was awarded the 2019-20 Brad Hornung Trophy, given annually to the WHL’s most sportsmanlike player.
