Juha Jaaska

27-Year-Old Right WingRW
Carolina Hurricanes
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Carolina gave Jaaska a two-year extension following the 2024-25 campaign, his first in North America after coming overseas from Finland. The 27-year-old finished the regular season with 33 points in 53 outings with AHL Chicago and four assists across 18 sporadic games for the Hurricanes. He added another goal in two AHL playoff outings. The winger will likely begin the upcoming season in the AHL, and Jaaska probably won’t receive enough time in the NHL to warrant any fantasy consideration. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.2 million contract with the Hurricanes in June of 2025.

Jaaska (undisclosed) was placed on waivers by the Canes on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
Evidently, Jaaska has been given the green light by Carolina's medical team and will be headed to the minors, assuming he clears waivers. In his 18 regular-season games with the Canes last year, the 27-year-old winger registered four assists, 20 hits and 11 shots while averaging 8:56 of ice time.
