The Carolina Hurricanes have signed forward Eric Robinson to a four-year, $6.8 million contract ($1.7 million AAV) extension. According to PuckPedia [https://x.com/PuckPedia/status/1936095465650766256], the first three years of the deal come with an eight team No Trade Clause and the final year is the same, but only if in the year prior (2027-28), Robinson plays in 75% of the team's games with at least 12 mins of average time on ice per game. Robinson, 30, is coming off of a career year in which he set a new best for goals (14) and points (32) while also appearing in every game for the team this season.
