While Justin Williams is back with the Canes, there’s no set timeline for his return to the lineup.
after signing a one-year contract worth $700,000 to suit up for his old club for the remainder of the season.
Williams, 38, spent the past two seasons with the Hurricanes — his second stint with the club after being a key contributor during their 2006 Stanley Cup championship run — and opted last summer to take some time away from the game to think about his future. Throughout his hiatus from hockey, Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind’Amour believed his former captain would be back on the ice in Carolina at some point.panel when asked if he’d guessed Williams would ultimately get the itch to return. “We talked a lot during the year, Justin and I. In the summer especially, when he initially wanted some time away. I think I could pretty much guess he was going to come back, it was just a matter of the timing — when he felt like it was time to get back into it.
