"Mr. Game 7" is now "Mr. Front Office."

The Carolina Hurricanes hired Justin Williams as an advisor to general manager Don Waddell, the GM announced Friday.

Williams retired as a player in October. He spent eight of his 19 seasons with the Hurricanes, helping them win the Stanley Cup in 2006 before claiming a title with the Los Angeles Kings in 2012 and 2014. He earned the Conn Smythe Trophy in the latter campaign.

The 39-year-old served as Carolina's captain in 2018-19 during his second stint with the club. Williams first suited up for the Hurricanes from 2003-09 before rejoining them for his final three seasons. He took a break from the league to start 2019-20 but returned to suit up for 20 games.

Williams is one of only nine players in NHL history to notch 100 goals and win a championship with two different franchises.

The former winger collected 320 goals and 477 assists over 1,264 regular-season contests, adding 41 markers and 61 helpers in 162 playoff games.
