US EditionVegas and Jack Eichel agree on an 8-year, $108 million contract extension, AP source says
Eichel’s $108 million deal secures him through 2034 with a $13.5 million average annual value, following recent extensions by other 2015 draft stars.
- On Wednesday, Jack Eichel and the Vegas Golden Knights agreed to an eight-year, $108 million extension with a $13.5 million average annual value before the season opener.
- With unrestricted free agency after 2025-26 looming, Eichel's camp accelerated talks following recent extensions by Connor McDavid, Kirill Kaprizov and Kyle Connor last week.
- Eichel produced career-best scoring last season and earned top-five Hart and Selke finishes, while contributing 26 points in the Golden Knights' 2023 Stanley Cup playoff run.
- The move takes a major free-agent target off next summer's market, and with Mitch Marner already added, Vegas general manager Kelly McCrimmon now has two long-term stars.
- Under the pact, Eichel will remain contracted through the 2033-34 season, but durability questions persist due to his artificial disk replacement and missed games since his rookie year.
