The Carolina Hurricanes are rumored to have a deal in place to bring back former captain Justin Williams.

Per TSN's Pierre LeBrun, no deal has been officially signed, but rather agreed to in principle.

Williams was spotted with Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon on Tuesday at the Flyers/Hurricanes game in Raleigh.

This news comes after reports of several teams presenting offers to Williams, an unrestricted free agent who spent last year with the Hurricanes, helping them to the Eastern Conference finals.

Williams was always said to be set on returning to Carolina if he laced up the skates during the 2019-20 season, as that is where he and his family currently reside.

"Mr. Game 7" registered 53 points through 82 regular season games with the Canes last year.
