The 25-year-old forward, who played much of last season’s second half on a professional tryout contract with the Checkers, has agreed to terms on one-way AHL deal that will bring him back to Charlotte for next season. Even prior to last season’s playoffs, he knew a contract offer was coming – the team had directly told him as much – but didn’t expect to have things more or less finalized by the beginning of June.

“I was told that they liked my style, size and physical play and I talked to (Carolina Hurricanes Vice President of Hockey Operations) Ron Francis about it at the end of the season, but I was still surprised that the ball got rolling so quickly,†said Marquart, who checks in at 6-foot-3 and 229 pounds. “It’s flattering, and you don’t want to prove them wrong or make them regret it.â€

I like this deal, he stepped up when he was called up.

I'm sensing there will be a bit of turnover on Charlotte next year.
