RALEIGH, N.C. -- Jordan Staal will not seek an extension with the Carolina Hurricanes ahead of the final season of his contract.

"I'm going to ride out this contract," Staal said. "Eleven years is a long time here and it's been special. I'm going to ride it out next year and hopefully finish with a bang and go from there."

The center has one season remaining on a 10-year, $60 million contract ($6 million annual average) he signed July 1, 2012.

Staal was acquired by the Hurricanes from the Pittsburgh Penguins on June 22, 2012 for the No. 8 pick in the 2012 NHL Draft, center Brandon Sutter and defenseman Brian Dumoulin. The trade united him with his brother, Eric. The Staal brothers played together with the Hurricanes until Eric was traded to the New York Rangers on Feb. 28, 2016.

"It's been a great ride obviously," Staal said. "I came down here obviously to play with Eric and really be a part of the Carolina Hurricanes club, and (I) came down here to win. It's been a ride. Obviously a lot of ups and downs. As of right now, it's been a lot of fun on the ice and the players we have. It's been a blast."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

One more season as the captain. And I'll be the first to admit I was very wrong about his skill set this season. I thought he was ready to retire and that his physical skills may be waning, but I was wrong. This guy took his line to a completely different level this past season.

Much respect, Jordo.

Staal has been great for us and it’s been a privilege watching him play over the last decade.

With that said, it’ll be time to move on after next year.

One player that will be an unrestricted free agent when Staal’s contract is up is Dylan Larkin and I absolutely love Larkin and think he’d be great in Rod’s system.

I could get onboard with Aho, Larkin, Kotkaniemi, and Drury down the middle.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By strato · Posted

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By Zaximus · Posted

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
