The Carolina Hurricanes announced that they have signed defenseman Sean Walker to a five-year, $3.6 million AAV contract.
“Sean is a dependable right-shot defenseman who has played all situations at a high level during his career,” said Carolina general manager Eric Tulsky. “He is extremely strong at both ends of the ice, and his offensive abilities are a great fit for our style of play.”
Walker, 29, had 10 goals and 29 points this season while averaging over 19 minutes per game.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pound blueliner is regarded as a strong skater and a good facilitator with the puck.
