The Seattle Kraken agreed to a seven-year contract with center Matty Beniers that locks up the first draft pick in franchise history and former Calder Trophy winner through the 203...AUGUST 20, 2024
Secures long-term extension Beniers agreed to terms on a seven-year, $49.98 million contract extension with Seattle on Tuesday.
Impact Beniers suffered a sophomore slump last season, posting just 15 goals and 22 helpers in 77 outings -- well behind the 57 points in 80 games he recorded as a rookie the year prior. Still, the 2021 second-overall pick remains the top center option for the club entering the upcoming 2024-25 campaign and figures to offer decent offensive upside. Fantasy managers should be able to count on Beniers getting back over the 50-point threshold.

The 21-year-old center had a disappointing year on offense with 15 goals and 37 points over 77 appearances after posting 57 points in 80 games as a rookie. Beniers showed growth in his two-way game, but it'll be interesting to see how negotiations shake out with a new contract needed for the restricted free agent, which is likely to be at the top of the to-do list for general manager Ron Francis.
