Along with the news of the extension, the Hurricanes announced that McKeown has been loaned to a team in the SHL, Sweden’s highest professional league. He’ll likely compete for a roster spot with the Hurricanes when training camp begins and could end up as a spare on the team’s roster.
McKeown’s extension is a two-way deal, however, he will not be exempt from waivers.
