Jordan, Carolina’s captain since 2019, will become an unrestricted free agent in the beginning of next month.

“Simply put, everything can change after 5 minutes of talking on the phone, especially at this time of the season. As far as Jordan is concerned with the Carolina, they’re at an impasse,” a source close to the franchise shared.

“Things can change in a matter of hours, but this deal was supposed to be signed almost 1 year ago.”

Staal’s agents have provided concrete options to the franchise. Still, Carolina’s owner will have the final say, and the scenario of Jordan being a free agent on July 1st is very realistic at the moment.
