Elliotte Friedman just reported that RFA Matty Beniers has signed a massive contract extension.
On a busy hockey day in August, hearing even more news:
Seattle is working on getting an extension done with 2023 Calder Trophy winner Matt Beniers. Sounds like it's in the area of 7 x $7M, probably around $50M.
Important bit of business for the Kraken
The Seattle Kraken have locked up their top RFA, Matty Beniers to a seven-year contract worth $50 million. Friedman reported that anually he will be making $7.14 million up until the 2030-31 season.
Beniers is looked at as the future of the Seattle Kraken, winning the Calder Trophy in his rookie year after being drafted 2nd overall, and being the first draft pick in Seattle Kraken history.
The Kraken made some big moves in the off-season and now have the face of their future locked up and will look to make the playoffs again this year after missing out last year.
