Seth Jarvis confesses his deferred payment inexperience before $63.2M Canes extension

Carolina Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis opened up about his $63.2 million contract extension. In particular,he discussed how inexperienced he was about deferred payments.

The Hockey News quoted Seth Jarvis’ comments about his experience with the deferred payment structure:

“Yeah, they really had a tough time breaking it down for me. I had no idea what it meant.”

Nevertheless, that didn’t stop Jarvis from exploring further into the issue. Jarvis added:

“They explained it to me a little bit more and it started to make more sense. I think it was just something that helped me, but also helped the team and that's more what we were looking for.”

Indeed, signing a deferred payment contract helps the Hurricanes manage their Salary Cap structure while ensuring Seth Jarvis gets paid fair market value.

Jarvis concluded his thoughts:

“Being able to build something around, not just me, but around here, around the team. To be able to have more space to bring in other guys.”

The Canes were fortunate to have Jarvis buy into the club’s vision. With Jarvis now locked up for the foreseeable future, the team can focus on being a perennial contender.

With Jarvis willing to explore a creative solution to a complex problem, the Carolina Hurricanes could be well on their way to another successful season.


Seth Jarvis looking to be the best version of himself

With the contract negotiations now behind him, Seth Jarvis can focus on getting ready for this upcoming season. In particular, Jarvis is focused on improving his skill set as much as possible.

Jarvis referred to this point per The Hockey News:

“Just not trying to be someone I'm not. I'm not trying to be Connor McDavid – obviously, it'd be nice, but I don't think I'm even able to do that. But I'm just trying to be the best version of myself.”

Moreover, Jarvis added on how he plans to approach his game this upcoming season:

“I'm not trying to change my game and play a completely different way. I want to keep playing hard. I'm going to keep putting in 1,000% effort.”

That sort of effort is what characterizes the structured approach preached by Canes coach Rod Brind’Amour, a tough-love coach who focuses on getting his players to fully commit.

As far as Seth Jarvis is concerned, his commitment won’t be an issue. With that sort of attitude, Jarvis will look to build on the positives from last season.

Jarvis concluded his thoughts:

“I put my best foot forward every time I step on the ice.”

Jarvis and the Hurricanes will look to exceed last year’s results after a disappointing second-round playoff exit. If everything goes according to plan, Jarvis and the Canes could become serious Cup contenders when the playoffs roll around next spring.
