His cap hit for the whole season, set against what he did in the regular season. Lower is better value. In a season still being played the cost per point starts high and falls as the games add up. Value is coloured by where it ranks among the 715 ranked skaters whose contract is known. How value is worked out.

The contract

Signed by the New Jersey Devils on May 7, 2025, as an entry-level contract: 1 year, beginning in 2025-26. It runs through 2025-26, so this is its last season, and his extension takes over. His next contract is already signed: a new contract with the New Jersey Devils on Jun 30, 2026, 3 years and $9.75M at $3.25M a season, beginning in 2026-27.

Each season left on the contract. Only its cap hit and its end are known: how the pay is split by season, and any signing bonus, are not.

Every contract on record for him, newest first, with the team that signed him to it and the day it was signed. The one covering 2025-26 is marked. An extension is signed while the contract before it is still running, often a year ahead. A row with no team or date is a contract known only by its cap hit, most often one signed since October 2024.
