Signs eight-year extension Batherson agreed to terms on an eight-year, $86 million contract extension with Ottawa on Tuesday.

Impact Batherson grabbed the eight-year extension right before the new CBA kicked in Wednesday, which would have limited the length of his deal to just seven seasons. With the new deal in hand, the 28-year-old winger will be under contract through the 2034-35 campaign, at which point his $10.75 million cap hit might be considered fairly cheap. Batherson is coming off his first 30-plus goal campaign last year, having notched 33 tallies, including 13 with the man advantage, in 79 regular-season tilts. He should be able to push for that threshold again in 2026-27, especially with the two extra games.

AUGUST 17 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Seeking eight-year contract Batherson is seeing an eight-year contract extension before the mid-September deadline to sign a deal of that length, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen reports Monday.

Impact Batherson has been a strong contributor for the Senators in recent years, most recently recording a career-high 33 goals and 71 points, along with 122 hits, 33 PIM and 22 blocked shots, while averaging 17:21 of ice time across 79 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign. He's entering the final season of his six-year contract and hopes to reach a long-term agreement with Ottawa before the new collective bargaining agreement takes effect, which limits the maximum length of a contract extension to seven years, down from the previous mark of eight. Regardless of Batherson's contract status heading into the regular season, he should take on a prominent role for Ottawa once again during the 2026-27 campaign.
