Joe Pavelski is staying in Dallas, dashing many a hockey fan’s dream of their favorite team trading for him at the deadline for a playoff run.
The Dallas Stars agreed to a one-year extension with Pavelski worth $5.5 million in cap hit. He can also earn up to $500,000 in bonuses based on games played, with $100,000 earned every 10 games next year (i.e. thresholds of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 games played). The contract also has a full no-movement clause, meaning he cannot be sent down, waived, or traded without his approval. His contract doesn’t include any signing bonsues.
