Cam Ward Signs Contract Extension with Hurricanes

Cam Ward signs a 6 year contract extension with the Carolina Hurricanes today. The 6 year deal is worth a total of $37.8 million, a $6.3 million salary cap hit.

This is a good deal for both parties involved. $6.3 million is a reasonable cap number that shouldn’t handcuff them too much in the future.

Ward is entering his 5 NHL season, and has a shot at making the Canadian Olympic team for 2010. Ward has played in 225 games in 4 seasons, with a record of 120 wins, 77 loses, 18 ties with a 2.81 GAA. Statistically, Ward broke out last season with a 2.44 GAA and .916 SV%, 39 wins and 6 shutouts.
