Jarvis to Make $7.9 annually for the next eight years
Winnipeg's top NHL player, Seth Jarvis, has just put pen to paper on a massive eight-year, $63.2 million contract with the Carolina Hurricanes.
One of the Hurricanes' best players, the 22-year-old had a career year in the final season of his NHL rookie contract, as he put up 34 goals and 67 points on the season - which were both career-highs.
The former Assiniboine Park Rangers star re-signed in Carolina on an eight-year contract, to which he will be paid $7.9 million each year through the 2030-31 season.
"Seth is a cornerstone player for our franchise,” Hurricanes' GM Eric Tulsky said. “He took another huge step last season, playing in all situations and displaying the skill and competitive drive that will make him a star in this league in the years to come.”
Jarvis, who spent his developmental years with the RINK, has earned his keep on a talented Hurricanes squad that has dominated competition for the better part of his career. The Winnipegger finished second in goals and points on Carolina last year, while setting new career-highs in nearly every statistical category. He is the third member of the 2020 NHL Draft class to put up a 30-goal season, joining Tim Stutzle and Lucas Raymond.
Jarvis also led Carolina offensively in the postseason, to which he scored five times and added four assists for nine points in the Hurricanes' 11 playoff contests. He ranked first in goals, power-play points and power play goals in the postseason.
Taken 13th overall in 2020, the former Portland Winterhawk has 64 goals and 146 points in 231 career regular season NHL contests. He also has a silver medal to his name from the 2019 Hlinka-Gretzky Cup.
