Player Notes
June 24, 2008
Tuomo Ruutu has agreed to a one-year deal to remain with the Hurricanes, according to the Miami Herald. He will make $2.25 million next season. GM Jim Rutherford said, "We are happy he'll be back with our team and we hope that he can stay healthy and return to the 20-goal plateau he reached during his rookie season."

Our View:The 25-year old was acquired from the Blackhawks in February in exchange for Andrew Ladd. His production in goals dipped to 10 in 2007-08, but he did reach a new career-high with 22 assists.

Tuomo Ruutu was clipped by a stick above his eye and on his nose during his debut with the Hurricanes on Tuesday, according to the Raleigh News & Observer. He required 40 stitches to close the gash. Nonetheless, he's a hockey player, so he suited up to play Thursday with an eye shield.

So far, so good, for the Hurricanes after acquiring Tuomo Ruutu from the Blackhawks on Tuesday. He joined the team about 15 minutes before their evening game against the Devils, whom they beat 2-1 in overtime. Not only is Ruutu 1-0 as a Hurricane, but he chipped in an assist. Maybe he can finally live up to the hype of being the ninth overall pick in 2001 in his new digs, because it certainly never happened in Chi-town.
