The Dallas Stars have signed restricted free-agent defenseman Miro Heiskanen to an eight-year, $67.6 million contract, general manager Jim Nill announced Saturday.
The deal links Heiskanen to the Stars through the 2028-29 season.
"We are excited to announce that we have signed Miro to a long-term contract," Nill said in a statement. "Since joining us, it has been clear that Miro is part of a collection of young, rising stars that are now playing in the National Hockey League. As an organization, we truly feel that Miro has just scratched the surface of his ability and will be in the Norris Trophy discussion for years to come.
