Mammoth F Nick Schmaltz Inks 8-Year, $64m Extension
- On March 11, 2026, forward Nick Schmaltz re-signed with the Utah Mammoth on an eight-year, $64 million extension, avoiding free agency this summer, with an $8 million annual cap hit.
- Following last fall's signing of Logan Cooley, prospect, the Mammoth extended Nick Schmaltz, whose previous deal paid just under $6,000,000 per season and expired June 30.
- Schmaltz, 30, is second on the team with 59 points in 64 games, and his 16 points in 10 games early in the season helped put Utah on track to make the playoffs.
- The Mammoth hold the first wild-card spot, six points clear of Seattle through Tuesday, and Bill Armstrong called Nick 'a tremendous player and person' while Ryan Smith said the deal builds momentum.
- 'There was never a doubt that Utah is where I want to play the rest of my career', Schmaltz said, thanking owners Ryan and Ashley Smith as he signed an eight-year extension to support their Stanley Cup pursuit.
