Hurricanes Sign Joakim Ryan

July 14, 2024 at 11:16 am CDT | by Gabriel Foley Leave a Comment

The Carolina Hurricanes have signed defenseman Joakim Ryan to a one-year, two-way contract. The deal carries a league minimum $775K salary at the NHL level and a $110K salary at the AHL level. Ryan rejoins the Hurricanes organization after spending the last three years with the SHL’s Malmo Redhawks. He filled a prolific role with the Swedish club, appearing in all 156 games and totaling 64 points. That includes Ryan’s 31-point season in 2021-22, which marked the second-highest scoring of his professional career, behind a 49-point year in the 2016-17 AHL season.

Ryan’s move to Sweden marked his first time playing hockey outside of the United States, after playing through juniors in the USHL, college hockey with Cornell University, and then being drafted by the San Jose Sharks in the seventh round of the 2012 NHL Draft. Ryan closed out the final two years of his collegiate career before turning pro, ultimately totaling 78 points in 123 games with the Big Red. That production proved strong momentum as Ryan moved to the AHL, where he managed 28 points in 66 games as a rookie in 2015-16. He followed that with a career year in his second pro season, ultimately doing enough to earn a full-time NHL role in 2017-18. But Ryan didn’t do much with the opportunity, posting just 12 points through 62 games as an NHL rookie and slowly losing his grip on a daily role over the next three seasons.

That grip didn’t become stronger even as Ryan moved clubs, with one-year, league-minimum contracts pulling Ryan through stints with the Los Angeles Kings and Carolina Hurricanes. He’s since totaled 24 points in 145 career games. Ryan showed flashes of rediscovered offense in Sweden, though he’ll need to continue developing that knack should he want to hold onto his returning role in North America.
