The Czech Republic native, Carolina’s fourth-round draft choice in 2008, will join a glut of blueliners, including former Checkers teammates Brett Bellemore and Ryan Murphy and new signings Matt Corrente and Mark Flood, that will be competing for spots in Carolina. Barring that, he would become an experienced anchor on a Charlotte defense that will welcome a group of first-year players providing he clears waivers, something he would need to do for the first time now that his entry-level deal has expired.
Jordan becomes the second restricted free agent to re-sign with Carolina this week, joining Riley Nash, who agreed to a two-year, two-way deal on Tuesday. Players remaining on the Hurricanes’ restricted list are goaltender Mike Murphy and forwards Zach Boychuk, Zac Dalpe and Jared Staal.
A complete list of signings during what has become a busy week, as well as players under contract for the 2013-14 season, can be found here.
