SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A person familiar with the deal says Logan Couture has agreed to a $64 million, eight-year contract extension with the San Jose Sharks.
The person tells The Associated Press that the sides reached agreement on the deal Saturday to keep Couture under contract through 2026-27.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal can't become official until Sunday, when Couture officially enters the final year of his current $30 million, five-year contract.
Couture was a first-round pick by San Jose in 2007 and has said he never wants to leave the franchise.
