The Carolina Hurricanes are reportedly going to be bringing back the heart and soul of the locker room as the team has supposedly come to terms on a contract extension with Jordan Martinook for a three-year, $1.8 million AAV contract according to Pierre Lebrun.
The forward will be taking a bit of a paycut in AAV as he’s coming off of back to back lackluster seasons — the most recent seeing him score just four goal and nine point — but his biggest value has been in his intangibles, namely leadership.
Martinook is a huge piece of not only the team’s culture, but its community as well.
