RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Sebastian Aho has decided to stay with the Carolina Hurricane for five more years.

Aho made the announcement on Twitter on Sunday.

"I am grateful for the offer from the Montreal Canadiens, but it was always my hope to return to the Hurricanes."

Aho will receive a five-year, front-loaded, bonus-heavy contract worth $42.27 million. It carries an average annual value of $8.454 million.

Aho had career highs with 30 goals, 53 assists and 83 points last season while helping Carolina reach the Eastern Conference final.
