SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Kraken signed captain Jordan Eberle to a two-year contract extension through the 2027-28 season with an average annual value of $5.5 million, general manager Jason Botterill announced Friday.
Eberle, 35, leads the Kraken with 22 goals and 42 points in 59 games.
“Obviously, when you have an opportunity to sign your captain for another two years, your leading scorer, a player that exemplifies so much that the Seattle Kraken are about, we are ecstatic to have him part of our organization for two more years," Botterill said. “He’s a great leader for our young players.”
Eberle's 22 goals are his most in a year since the 2021-22 season. He has been with the Kraken since the franchise's inaugural season in 2021-22.
“My family and I love Seattle,” Eberle said. “The organization is world-class, the culture here is incredible and the fans have been amazing since Day 1. We want to win here and I really believe we’re building something special in Seattle. I also want to thank Sam Holloway, Ron Francis and Jason Botterill for believing in me.”
Eberle is on track for his most goals in a season since he had 34 in 2011-12. He's second in franchise history in goals (89) and third in assists (130) and points (219).
Eberle was the No. 22 overall pick in the 2008 NHL entry draft and has 770 points in 1,119 career games.
