Senators Sign Jake Sanderson To Massive Extension
Jake Sanderson just got PAID! The most underrated player in the league according to Brady Tkachuk just cashed in on a mega extension. The Senators defenseman will sign a new eight-year contract worth $64.4 million. Sanderson will carry an AAV of $8.050 for the remainder of the contract.
The Sens put out a press release regarding the news of the deal.
“OTTAWA – The Ottawa Senators announced today that the team has signed defenceman Jake Sanderson to an eight-year, $64.4M contract extension. The contract has an average annual value of $8.050 million and includes the following breakdown: $8.050M in 2024-25, $8.050M in 2025-26, $8.050M in 2026-27, $8.050M in 2027-28, $8.050M in 2028-29, $8.050M in 2029-30, $8.050M in 2030-31 and $8.050M in 2031-32. The contract also includes a 10-team no-trade clause which will be applicable to the final three seasons of its duration.”
It’s important to note that Sanderson will play the final season of his entry level contract this year. The contract extension that was signed will kick in the following year. Incredibly smart business by Ottawa. The cap is expected to climb in a significant way as soon as next year. We have been working with a flat cap for a while now. This contract by the end of it will look like an absolute bargain by the tail end of it.
Sanderson, 21, posted 32 points in 77 games for Ottawa a season ago. The former 5th overall pick in 2020 has a ton of potential and may be on the verge of exploding heading into this year.
