NHL rumors: Calgary in Flames, Kings, Flyers set for big deals, Hall to Chicago
By Marvin Azrak
Devils sign Haula to a three-year, $9.45 million deal
Haula, 32, had a breakout season with 14 goals and 41 points. His contributions helped the Devils make their first playoff appearance in five years. He’ll make $3.9 million in 2023-24, $3.15 million in 2024-25, and $2.4 million in 2025-26. Haula has played for seven teams (Minnesota Wild, Vegas Golden Knights, Carolina Hurricanes, Florida Panthers, Nashville Predators, Boston Bruins, and Devils). He has also accumulated 281 points in 614 career games. The Wild selected him in the seventh round of the 2009 NHL draft.
Jordan Stall stays in Carolina:
The Carolina Hurricanes have secured the services of their captain, Jordan Staal, for the next four years. Staal, 35, who could have become an unrestricted free agent, has signed a $11.6 million deal to remain with the team. He is committed to helping the Hurricanes win their first Stanley Cup since 2006. Staal’s annual salary cap hit $2.9 million until the 2026-27 season. Staal’s new contract includes a full no-movement clause for the first three years and a full no-trade clause for the final season, giving him total control over where he plays. As a result, Staal may spend the rest of his career in Raleigh, where he has been a key player for the past decade. Staal, coach Rod Brind’Amour, and the team’s young core have helped the Hurricanes make the playoffs for the past five seasons. Although they’ve been swept in the Eastern Conference final in 2019 and 2021, they have won division titles in the past three seasons.
Coyotes re-sign Conor Ingram for three-years, $1.95 million AAV
Last season, the 26-year-old Ingram led the Coyotes with a goals-against average of 3.37 and a save percentage of .907. He played in 27 games and had a record of 6-13-8. Ingram made NHL history by making 47 saves in a shutout of Tampa Bay on Feb. 15, which was his first career shutout. He was drafted by Tampa Bay in the third round in 2016 and was claimed off waivers by the Coyotes last year.
