I saw a Jalen Chatfield interview on twitter and he mentioned "some guys who have been even longer than me." He hasn't been here that long, I think, so I looked it up and he's been playing here since 2022 and is 11th all time among defensemen for the franchise in Raleigh. Man does time fly, we just won the Cup with him at RD1 (playing well too) and he's still a new guy to me. If he plays at least 53 games next season he can leapfrog Sean Hill, Bret Hedican, Aaron Ward and David Tanabe and end at 7th all time games played for a dman in Carolina.
On that note Niclas Wallin is 6th, I always underrated him, I got into the team at the tail end of his career in NC but he played on all three big playoff aught runs, should make an effort to learn more about his time here.
