Hurricanes claim Martin Frk on waivers
by from on (#1XGVS)
Martin Frk has found himself a new home.
After being waived by the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, the Carolina Hurricanes announced Sunday that they've claimed the 23-year-old winger.
Frk was drafted by the Red Wings in the second round of the 2012 draft, but has yet to suit up in a regular-season NHL game.
Still, Frk remains a promising offensive prospect, which intrigued general manager Ron Francis.
"Martin played well in Grand Rapids last year, and took a step forward in his offensive production with 27 goals in 67 games," said Francis. "He has been a goal scorer at every level."
Frk had 44 points for Grand Rapids last season.
