Ryan Dzingel signs with Hurricanes

Ryan Dzingel has signed a two-year deal with the Carolina Hurricanes that will pay him a total of $6.75 million.

Fantasy Impact

The 27-year-old Dzingel experienced what could be considered a mini-breakout last season in his third full year in the NHL. We've seen a steady upward trend in his production so far in his career; jumping from 32 points to 41, up to last season's 56 (26 of which were goals). The most encouraging part of this trend is that 21 goals and 45 of his points from last season were at even-strength. If Dzingel's talent can translate at even strength in Ottawa of all places, it's easy to be optimistic about his prospects in Carolina with what's become an intriguing group of young forwards.
