Confirmed Signing with Link: [CAR] D Sean Walker signs with the Hurricanes (5 years, $3.6M AAV)

Good replacement for Pesce. I bet the term and money are going to be great as well since this is Carolina.
More of a Skjei replacement stylistically, even if he plays the other side.
I mentioned in another thread he’s kind of a poor man’s Skjei and so funny enough, he goes to Carolina.
He was pretty disappointing with the Avs, ultimately….anonymous #5 type blueliner by the playoffs. But he was very good with Philly.

looked great for Colorado in the regular season but turned into a pumpkin come playoffs. Hope Carolina gets more jam out of him

I think this is a great number for Walker if he reverts back to how he was with Philly to start the season.

It's tough to judge his Colorado tenure because he was the guy who was tied to Jack Johnson's rotting hip.

He was the guy I wanted if we didn’t get Roy. Seems like Canes didn’t want to spend as much on D so very happy with this number
Slavin - Burns
Orlov - Chatfield/Walker
Ghost - Chatfield/ Walker
It’s not what it was last year but still happy with that overall

They're spending about as much on defense as they typically do. The change is that they spread the wealth to Chatfield/Ghost/Walker in order for Rod to be able to run three premium pairs again.

Yes - I just mean they didn’t pony up for Pesce/Skjei/Roy tier of players/contracts. Which we knew going in. I’m not sure about Ghost but as a #6 I don’t hate it
Bargain based on his play this year, but tbf he was basically given away a year ago in the provorov deal when he was making 2.6

No chance. Really good deal nonetheless, I thought he'd be around 4.5 even with this term

Wanted him on the Oil last year. Thought he'd be valued right around 3M-4M if he extended him. Fair deal for the Canes. Good player. Surprised Avs fans didn't like him, I think he was asked to take on too much for their high flying style of play.

This is a guy who is going to flourish in a structured system like the canes.
Fair pay for solid player. And not paying him til he’s 37-38 years old like some of these crazy deals.
Def 1 of the best, if not the best value contract signed today.
Nice work canes
