Justin Williams Signs One-Year Deal With Carolina
5 years agoCarolina Hurricanes forward Justin Williams inked a one-year, $700,000 contract to return to Raleigh for his 19th NHL season. The 38-year-old, who announced in the preseason that he'd be taking some time away from the game to ponder his NHL future, spent the past two seasons as the Hurricanes' captain. Despite continuing to skate during his time off, Williams may face a bit of an adjustment in getting back up to NHL speed and presumably jumping into Carolina's top-six forward group. Coming off a 53-point (23 goals, 30 assists), 237-shot season in 2018-2019, Williams offers plenty of fantasy appeal moving forward. The Ontario native could conceivable make his season debut when the Canes take on the Coyotes at home on Friday.
