Defenseman Tyler Ganly, 20, was signed by the Carolina Hurricanes Monday on the deadline for teams to sign 2013 junior draft picks. A sixth-round pick that year, Ganly has played three seasons with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League and was the 156th overall pick. Brent Pedersen, who was taken in the fifth round by Carolina that year and just won a Memorial Cup with the Oshawa Generals, seems unlikely to be signed and would be able to re-enter the 2015 draft.

In other news, sideline reporter Chantel McCabe will not be back with the team next season, the team confirmed to CanesCountry.com. McCabe replaced Bob Harwood as the third member of the Fox Sports Carolina team that covered the Hurricanes starting with the 2012-13 season, and also appeared on the NHL Network during the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs. McCabe made news prior to last season when she was charged with a DWI in Raleigh on Oct. 4 and was subsequently suspended through Oct. 30, but returned to the team for the remainder of the season.

McCabe, whose contract ends June 30, was reached but did not wish to comment.

The position — which seems to be a combination of McCabe’s job and the role previously held by pregame and in-game talent Amber Jaye, who announced she wouldn't be back with the team in April — is posted on the Hurricanes’ job board. It can be found here.

Here is the release from the team regarding Ganly's signing.
