Jack Eichel, Knights To Discuss Extension In Offseason
Jack Eichel, who has one season left on his eight-year, $80 million contract, is eligible for a contract extension with the Vegas Golden Knights beginning July 1.
\"He\'s one of the top guys in the NHL,\" general manager Kelly McCrimmon said. \"He\'s got great character, great leadership. You see night in, night out what he does for our team, so that will be a really important piece of business for us. We certainly hope to keep Jack in our organization. Jack loves it here, so I would hope we could find common ground.\"
Eichel set career highs with 66 assists and 94 points to go with 28 goals as the center on the team\'s top line.
\"Can\'t say enough about my teammates and the people in this building and the people that make this organization what it is,\" Eichel said. \"I\'m super proud to be part of this organization and the city and represent the Vegas Golden Knights. Contractually, I think things kind of take care of itself. I\'ll just worry about trying to prepare for next season this offseason and go from there.\"
