Hurricanes Sign Jackson Blake To Entry-Level Contract

April 10, 2024 at 11:13 am CDT | by Josh Erickson Leave a Comment

The Hurricanes have signed right-wing prospect Jackson Blake to a three-year, entry-level contract effective immediately, per a team release. Blake will receive a $775K base salary in 2023-24 and $832.5K in 2024-25 and 2025-26, plus signing bonuses of $92.5K each year. He’ll earn $80K at the AHL level for all three seasons. Brad Elliott Schlossman of the Grand Forks Herald reported yesterday that Blake had traveled to Raleigh and was likely to turn pro.

Blake, 20, spent the last two seasons with the University of North Dakota, where he quickly emerged as one of the top young players in the college circuit. A 2021 fourth-round pick of the Canes, Blake exploded for 42 points (16 goals, 26 assists) in 39 games with the Fighting Hawks in his freshman year, leading the team in scoring and capturing three NCHC year-end honors, including the conference’s Rookie of the Year. He was also named to the USA’s roster for the 2023 World Juniors, where he contributed to their bronze-medal effort with a goal and five assists in seven games.

Blake took things to another level this season, finishing fourth in collegiate scoring with 60 points (22 goals, 38 assists) in 40 games. As a result, he was the team’s nominee for the Hobey Baker Award for the top collegiate player and is one of three finalists for the award alongside presumptive 2024 first-overall pick Macklin Celebrini and top Ducks prospect Cutter Gauthier.

Described as an “explosive playmaker” by Hurricanes GM Don Waddell, Blake checked in as the number-four prospect in Carolina’s system in The Athletic’s Scott Wheeler’s 2024 ranking of NHL prospect pools. Two of three players ahead of him, defenseman Scott Morrow and winger Bradly Nadeau, have also turned pro out of college in the last couple of weeks and signed ELCs effective immediately.

The son of former Islanders winger Jason Blake is the eldest and most polished of the three and is most likely to land a spot on Carolina’s opening-night roster in 2024-25. Thanks to his August birthday, he’ll be 21 at the start of next season. He’ll be an RFA upon expiry of his deal in 2026.
