The Carolina Hurricanes have locked up a cornerstone of their future by signing forward Seth Jarvis to an eight-year, $63.2 million contract extension.
This deal, which carries an average annual value (AAV) of $7.5 million, reflects the organization’s commitment to Jarvis, who has quickly become an integral part of their lineup.
Carolina Hurricanes Secure Seth Jarvis with a Long-Term Deal
Jarvis, drafted 13th overall by the Hurricanes in 2020, has made significant strides in his career. After a solid rookie season, he truly broke out in the 2023-24 campaign, posting career highs with 33 goals and 67 points. His combination of speed, skill, and two-way play has made him one of the most promising young forwards in the NHL. Jarvis’ versatility allows him to thrive in various roles, whether playing on the top line with Sebastian Aho or providing depth scoring on the third line.
This contract is particularly interesting because of its structure. The deal includes $30 million in signing bonuses, with a deferred payment set for July 1, 2032, the day after the contract expires.
This innovative approach not only provides Jarvis with financial security but also offers the Hurricanes some cap flexibility over the next eight years. By lowering the AAV to $7.5 million through deferred payments, Carolina has managed to retain one of their top young talents while keeping their salary cap situation manageable.
Jarvis’ impact extends beyond just regular season performance. He has proven himself as a reliable playoff performer, notching 27 points in 40 career playoff games. His ability to elevate his game in high-pressure situations makes this long-term investment even more valuable for a Hurricanes team with Stanley Cup aspirations.
The signing of Jarvis is a clear signal from the Hurricanes’ front office that they are committed to building a championship-contending team for years to come. By securing Jarvis, Carolina ensures that a key piece of their core remains in place as they continue to push for success in the highly competitive Eastern Conference.
