"Jordan Staal signed a four-year extension with the Carolina Hurricanes in June 2023. The four-year, $11.6 million contract has an AAV of $2.9 million and a full No-Move Clause for the first three years and a full No-Trade Clause in the final season of the deal. These clauses provide stability for both the team and Staal, as they allow the team to be built around a key leadership player."
"An AAV of $2.9 million is very reasonable for a former second overall pick that brings defensive play, penalty killing, and reliability in addition to leadership. Four years is a good length for a player in his mid-30s. Staal continues to be durable and contributes in ways not always seen on the score sheet. Staal is a very good fit with the Hurricanes, filling the veteran leadership role while also helping on the penalty kill and defensive play."
Five key factors determine a good NHL contract: cap efficiency, length and structure, player age and risk, team fit, and market context. Thirty of thirty-two NHL teams currently have a captain, and Eastern Conference captains receive contract-by-contract evaluations. Jordan Staal signed a four-year, $11.6 million extension in June 2023 with a $2.9 million AAV, a full No-Move Clause for three years, and a No-Trade Clause in the final season. The deal rewards defensive play, penalty killing, reliability, and leadership and is graded four of five. Boone Jenner is in the final year of a four-year, $15 million deal with a $3.75 million AAV and provides leadership, grit, faceoff skill, and consistency. Jenner underwent shoulder surgery in 2023 that sidelined him for several months.
