The Edmonton Oilers have signed superstar center Leon Draisaitl to an 8-year, $112 million contract extension that starts for the 2025-26 season.
Draisaitl's $14 million per season sets a new NHL high. The $112 million total value of the contract is the second highest total money in league history behind Alex Ovechkin's $124 million, 13-year contract he signed in 2008.
The deal also includes a full no-movement clause throughout the entirety of the contract.
Oilers executive vice president of hockey operations and general manager said Stan Bowman...
"This is a historic day for the Edmonton Oilers. Leon's commitment to our team, our city, and Oilers fans everywhere cannot be overstated. His desire to help bring a Stanley Cup title home to Edmonton is central to everything he does both on and off the ice."
