Jalen Chatfield signed a three-year, $9 million contract to stay with the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday. It has an average annual value of $3 million.
The 28-year-old defenseman could have become an unrestricted free agent July 1. He had NHL career highs in goals, assists, points and plus-minus in 72 regular-season games this season and two assists in 11 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
“Jalen has been an integral part of our blue line over the last two seasons and firmly established himself as an NHL defenseman,” Hurricanes interim general manager Eric Tulsky said. “His elite speed and tireless work ethic make him an incredibly dynamic player at both ends of the ice.”

So happy for Jalen Chatfield. Grateful to have him join the show today.
He’s the type of player you root for with how hard he’s worked to earn everything he’s gotten.
Chatty is the man
