Nicolas Deslauriers signed a two-year contract extension during the Carolina Hurricanes' Stanley Cup celebration. General Manager Eric Tulsky presented the contract to Deslauriers live on stage, marking it as a significant moment in the festivities.

The contract will pay Deslauriers $850,000 for the 2026-27 season and $900,000 for the 2027-28 season, solidifying his role in the Hurricanes as they look to maintain a strong roster following their championship win.

He expressed his excitement during the announcement, shouting, 'Two more f--king years!' in front of thousands of fans, emphasizing the enthusiasm surrounding his commitment to the team.

This signing is seen as the first major move for the Hurricanes in the offseason, as they prepare for the upcoming draft and free agency.
