DALLAS — The Stars secured a key part of their top line for one more year, signing forward Joe Pavelski to a one-year contract extension on Friday afternoon.
Pavelski’s deal will carry a $5.5 million cap hit, and an additional $500,000 in performance bonuses. The performance bonuses are tied to the number of games Pavelski plays next season: he will receive $100,000 at each 10-, 20-, 30-, 40- and 50-game milestone. Pavelski also has a full no-movement clause in his contract, according to a source.
“Sarah, Nate and I have loved the city of Dallas and the Stars organization since day one,” Pavelski said in a statement. “We are very committed to winning here and have full belief in Tom Gaglardi and his family and Jim Nill to give our group every resource in order to do so. We have a great dressing room, and it was important to me, and my family, to show that we are all in.”
