Today the Carolina Hurricanes and defenseman Tim Gleason agreed on a 4-year contract extension for $16 million dollars. Jim Rutherford, the Hurricanes GM, does not usually deal with any contract extensions during the season so I take this as a good sign that things are changing within the organization. What I hope happened is new coach Kirk Muller is deciding on who he wants on this team and who he doesn't and the GM is listening and making things happen.
I like Gleason and as alternate captain he has a lot on his shoulders so maybe with his contract being settled he can focus on playing more consistent hockey for the rest of this season and the next few.
I can't wait to see how this team changes around the trade deadline and over the summer because what they have done the last 2+ years has not been working.
