The Carolina Hurricanes agreed to terms with their star winger on Wednesday, re-signing restricted free agent Erik Cole to a $12-million, three-year contract.
The 27-year-old had a career-high 30 goals and 59 points despite missing the final 22 regular-season games with a serious neck injury.
He returned for the final two games of the Stanley Cup final.
"Erik has developed into a dominant power forward," Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford said in a statement. "His size, speed and skill make him the ideal player for today's NHL, and he is one of the cornerstones of our team going forward."
