Confirmed with Link: Brind'Amour Extended for 3 years

[Svechhammer]

Canes, Brind'Amour Agree to Three-Year Contract Extension

Brind'Amour, 50, has earned a 120-66-20 record in three seasons behind the Hurricanes bench. His .631 points percentage is the highest by a head coach in franchise history, and he is the only head coach in franchise history to lead the team to the playoffs in three consecutive seasons. Carolina won their fifth-ever division title this season with a 36-12-8 record, finishing with the highest single-season points percentage (.714) in franchise history. He is one of three finalists for the 2020-21 Jack Adams Award, presented annually to the NHL's coach of the year.

After leading the Hurricanes to the Second Round of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Brind'Amour has registered the second-most career playoff wins (17) in franchise history. In 2019, he led the Hurricanes to their fourth-ever Conference Finals appearance, after defeating the Washington Capitals in seven games during the First Round and sweeping the New York Islanders in the Second Round. After sweeping the New York Rangers in three games during the Qualifying Round in 2020, Brind'Amour became the only head coach in franchise playoff history to earn multiple series sweeps.

Excellent news. The most important UFA we needed to sign this off season.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Now everyone can just shut the f*** up about it. Yay!

I know the process probably wasn't easy, but I'm glad everyone worked to make it work. Happy to have Rod around.

 

[Chrispy]

Most discussed negotiation for the most obvious outcome in board history?

I think this tops the years of Cole-Pitkanen trade talk before it happened.

 

[Svechhammer]

Brindy says what we all knew.

This job is about more than money. He "has a relationship with his owner and GM that I wouldn't have anywhere else in the league to let me put my stamp on this team"

"I am the richest person in the league"

Also,

"Tom Dundon wants to win"

 

[MinJaBen]

Nice!

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

And it didn't even take an offer sheet this time. Look at you growing Dundon, you little scamp!

 

[Joe McGrath]

I am SHOCKED!

Jr. Canes chime in . I'll link it when I get home

 

[Lempo]

It's... different than the last time around.

 

[A Star is Burns]

He sounded a little emotional when talking about being a part of this team for 20 years and the situation he gets to work in. Very nice to see and hear.

 

[Daeavorn]

Rod is the physical embodiment of what it means to be a Hurricane.

He is going to win us a cup as a coach then they'll HAVE to let him in the HOF.

Jr Canes actually broke the news about 90 mins before the presser.

Over/under 50% chance we win a cup with him on this contract? I'd say over but don't want to get too cocky...

Under. Not a knock on the team or his coaching, but only 1 team wins a Cup in any given year. The odds are much higher we don't win one in 3 years than we do

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

HE WILL BE BACK.

and with VENGEANCE.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Turtleneck or t-shirt? Can't tell from the photos.

Easy to take the under here. And if I lose money, I’m still a happy fan.

 

[Socks]

Right on dudes!

 

[Buenos Necas]

All good stuff, love hearing everything Rod had to say and glad this is finally wrapped up.

I assume Daniels will be back and Chynoweth is still tbd, but sounds like no one at the presser asked about their status? Nothing in the releases either.

 

[A Star is Burns]

It's kinda crazy to think about him getting traded here and not really being all that thrilled about it originally to Cup-winning iconic captain to excellent coach (we can just forget about the dark assistant coaching years, right?). It's just crazy to think about a guy like him coming here and just embodying everything that this franchise is for so long. To have this place be his home. It's really pretty amazing and we're really lucky as fans.

Yeah. You would think that we'd hear about all the folks Rod talked about getting signed first.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

He's a good man and a good coach, and I'm glad he's here.

Suck it, Kraken.
