The Seattle Kraken have signed veteran forward Jordan Eberle to a two-year contract extension, according to a report from Pierre LeBrun of TSN and The Athletic. The agreement carries an average annual value (AAV) of $5.5 million per season, keeping the winger in Seattle through the 2025-26 campaign.
Eberle, 33, was previously a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) slated to hit the open market this summer. By securing this extension, the Kraken retain a key member of their leadership group and a consistent offensive producer ahead of the NHL trade deadline. The deal represents a total commitment of $11 million over the two-year term.
Since being selected from the New York Islanders in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft, Eberle has been a cornerstone of the Seattle Kraken franchise. He has played a vital role in the team's top-six forward rotation and was instrumental during the team's first-ever playoff appearance last season. His veteran presence has been cited as a major asset for the developing roster in the Pacific Division.
Per LeBrun, the deal ensures that one of the most sought-after potential free agents remains off the market. Eberle has consistently been among the team's top scorers since the franchise's inception, and this new contract solidifies his future with the organization as they continue to build their core.
