The Carolina Hurricanes are getting some important business done once free agency opens with defenceman Jaccob Slavin agreeing to an eight-year contract extension, Sportsnet can confirm.
Slavin has spent his entire career with the Hurricanes since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2012 NHL Draft.
This keeps one potential top defenceman from reaching free agency status in 2025 and prevents the Hurricanes from losing any other defencemen, with Brett Pesce and Brady Skjei expected to hit the open market.
