BREAKING: Hurricanes Make Risky Move to Retain Captain Jordan Staal
Jordan Staal has been a Hurricane forever, but there was a worry he wouldn't stick around. To keep him, Carolina had to get creative.
Four Years
The Hurricanes agreed to terms on a four-year, $11.2-million deal with their captain.
While on paper this seems great - Staal is a low-event bottom-six defensively-responsible centre, he is already 35, and will be 39 when this deal expires
Knowing that his game has already regressed significantly, this deal could be a disaster for the cup-hopeful Hurricanes.
We will see how this deal plays out, and how Staal's game changes through this deal.
