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.

      Bryce Slinging Dots Downfield

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      Those TDs passes you saw Sunday is what I think you will see bryce at his best. Those touch passes he can lob to receivers over the defenders heads. Long as receivers can get significant separation and bryce does overthrow those passes which we seem him do a lot. He is never gonna be a guy that can throw a laser into a receivers chest with a defender draped on him downfield unless its short pass or within a couple feet from the endzone.

      Dream scenario for ending out the season

      By strato · Posted

      If teams play us honestly and take that deep stuff away we may be able to operate good enough underneath to counter that. It is about time we started trying to force them to respect it.    But I think people should enjoy the win for two weeks because what’s in front of us doesn’t scream playoffs to me. It would be shocking if we swept TB. They aren’t Atlanta.  And even if we sweep there can be no let down.    I saw the stat of our record coming off a loss. Pretty good. What would it be coming off a win lol? Without looking, it has to at least be pretty upside down  (I count it to be 2-4).

      Win the division from Bucs........BY implodes in the playoff worse than Delhomme and we finally get rid of BY as our QB. Get ready for 2026 with momentum for once.
