Jordan Eberle Signs Two-Year Contract Extension with Seattle Kraken
The Seattle Kraken have secured their captain, Jordan Eberle, with a new two-year contract extension worth $11 million. Eberle, a 35-year-old winger, has been a key player for the Kraken this season, scoring 22 goals and tallying 42 points in 59 games. His previous contract was set to expire at the end of the season, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Originally drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in 2008, Eberle has had a successful career, accumulating 330 goals and 770 points in 1,119 games played for the Oilers, New York Islanders, and Kraken. He was appointed as the second captain in Kraken history before the start of the 2024-25 season. Eberle, a native of Regina, Saskatchewan, has also represented Canada at the World Hockey Championships six times, earning a gold medal in 2015.
The contract extension ensures that Eberle will continue to lead the Kraken on the ice for the next two years, providing stability and experience to the team. His contributions both on and off the ice have solidified his role as a key player for the franchise. The Kraken and their fans can look forward to seeing Eberle's continued success and leadership in the seasons to come.
