Stars Sign Forward Sam Steel to $14.8M, 4-Year Extension Through 2030-31
The deal begins in 2027-28 and runs through 2031 as Dallas bets on Steel after a career-high 33 points last season.
- On Monday, the Dallas Stars signed forward Sam Steel to a four-year, $14.8 million contract extension beginning with the 2027-28 season at an average annual value of $3.7 million.
- Following a career year where Steel posted 12 goals and 33 points across 73 appearances in 2025-26, Dallas believes his 'Swiss Army Knife' versatility is essential for managing the salary cap.
- "We couldn't be happier to extend Sam," Dallas general manager Jim Nill said. The Alberta native has recorded 175 points in 491 career games with the Anaheim Ducks, Minnesota Wild, and the Stars.
- Steel is expected to play a key role on the top line alongside Wyatt Johnston and Mikko Rantanen for the 2026/27 season. His performance is critical as Dallas pursues Stanley Cup aspirations.
- While some fans questioned the contract on social media, the organization prioritized locking down the pending unrestricted free agent to maintain roster stability for the 2026/27 campaign.
