Aho is unlikely to be made captain of the Carolina Hurricanes again.
Jordan Staal and Sebastian Aho are the Hurricanes’ leading figures. PDO
NHL fans will probably have to wait Sebastian Ahon appointment as captain of the Carolina Hurricanes for a while longer.
On Sunday, the Hurricanes actually hired their current captain, Jordan Staal, 34 with a four-year contract.
Staal has worn the redshirt letter C on his chest for the past four seasons. He has served as at least vice-captain every season since he joined the club in the fall of 2012.
Aho, 25, has been the Hurricanes’ vice-captain for the past two seasons now, and many fans were already waiting for him to be appointed to Staal’s boots.
In the season that ended, the letter A decorated in addition to Aho by Jaccob Slavin29, and Jordan Martin too30, jerseys.
Staali’s four-year extension contract is worth a total of 11.6 million dollars, or about 10.6 million euros. The annual value is therefore 2.9 million dollars.
In addition, there is a clause in Staal’s contract that prevents him from being traded for the entire four years. During the first three years, the contract cannot be bought out either.
Last season, the Canadian forward scored 17+17=34 in 81 regular season games and 2+6=8 in 15 playoff games.
