July 2, 2008
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -The Carolina Hurricanes signed former Pittsburgh defenseman Josef Melichar to a one-year, $1 million contract Wednesday.
The 29-year-old Melichar spent last season with Linkoping of the Swedish Elite League, finishing with 74 penalty minutes in 50 regular-season games and a team-leading 39 more minutes in the penalty box in 16 playoff games.
Melichar played in 310 games with Pittsburgh from 2000-07. The Penguins' third-round pick in 1997 had his best offensive season in 2005-06, when he had three goals and 12 assists.
