The Carolina Hurricanes have announced the signing of defenseman Riley Stillman to a one-year, two-way contract.
The deal will pay Stillman $775,000 at the NHL level and $150,000 at the AHL level and includes a $350,000 guarantee.
“Riley is a reliable, highly competitive defenseman who can kill penalties,” said Carolina general manager Eric Tulsky. “He has considerable experience at both the NHL and AHL levels, and he’s still a young player. This signing will help improve our organizational depth on defense.”
Stillman, 26, has played in 158 career NHL games with three different teams so far and spent all of last season in the AHL with the Rochester Americans where he had two goals and four points in 41 games.
The 6-foot-1, left-handed defenseman is also the son of 2006 Stanley Cup Champion Cory Stillman.
