The new deal for the 33-year-old carries an annual average value (AAV) of $3.167 million.
Hall joined the Hurricanes in January as part of a significant three-team trade that also involved Mikko Rantanen and included the Colorado Avalanche and Chicago Blackhawks.
“Taylor has proven to be an outstanding fit for our team, and we are thrilled that he is excited to make Raleigh his home for another three seasons,” stated Hurricanes general manager Eric Tulsky in the team’s news release. “He’s been a solid veteran presence in the locker room and a difference maker on the ice.”

The Hurricanes were the first team to advance in the current postseason, having defeated the New Jersey Devils in a five-game series.
Selected first overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Hall spent six seasons with the Oilers organization. His career has also included stints with the New Jersey Devils, Arizona Coyotes, Buffalo Sabres, Boston Bruins, and Chicago Blackhawks before landing in Carolina.
