Hurricanes Extend Team Captain Jordan Staal

The 38-year-old captain gets at least two more seasons in Carolina after winning the Conn Smythe Trophy and helping bring the Stanley Cup back to Raleigh.

  • On Tuesday, Carolina Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal signed a one-year contract extension for the 2027-28 season that could pay the 38-year-old center up to $10 million.
  • Staal's extension follows his captaincy of the Hurricanes to their second Stanley Cup title in June, when he earned the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP after scoring crucial goals in Raleigh.
  • The deal pays Staal a $900,000 base salary and a $4 million signing bonus, with up to $5.1 million in performance bonuses creating a $4.9 million baseline cap hit for 2027-28.
  • Carolina opens training camp on Thursday, with Staal beginning his 21st NHL season as the team defends its title. The veteran remains central to the franchise's culture under new general manager Eric Tulsky.
  • With 1,403 career regular-season games played, Staal is poised to become the 26th, 27th or 28th player in NHL history to eclipse 1,500 games. The extension through age 40 secures his path to that milestone.
