Justin Williams getting $5 million from Carolina next season, then $4 million the following season. Good for him.

Williams won his first Cup with the Canes. He will be 36 before next season begins, but he’s still a good player. That’s a big payday though.

Also congrats to Tom Wilson for becoming the team’s only “Willy” again.
