Jack Eichel is entering the final year of his eight-year, $80 million contract with Vegas, with an extension expected to be settled soon. His career-best 94-point season keeps him as a fantasy anchor, and stabilization on a new deal should preserve high-end production regardless of timing.

Rasmus Andersson’s Calgary future is murky amid trade chatter and long-term fit questions, while Calgary’s pipeline of Parekh, Brzustewicz, and Mews adds complexity to his valuation. Toronto’s Nick Robertson also surfaces in rumors, underscoring how extensions and deadline moves are reshaping fantasy value league-wide.

Jack Eichel is focused on locking in a Vegas extension rather than testing free agency next summer. In the final year of an eight-year, $10 million-cap hit deal, he led Vegas with 94 points in 77 games last season and has posted 1.10 points per game over the last three seasons, ranking 16th in the NHL. He says he loves the organization, city, and teammates, and is concentrating on preparing for the season while talks with his agent progress.

Vegas GM Kelly McCrimmon has stressed re-signing Eichel as a priority, calling him a top NHL player with strong character and leadership. Talks with Eichel’s agent Pat Brisson are early but trending toward common ground. The Knights also pulled off a blockbuster offseason move by acquiring Mitch Marner, who signed an eight-year, $96 million contract, a move that shifts the team’s dynamic and expectations into the season.

Last season Vegas reached the second round by defeating the Wild before falling to Edmonton, and they haven’t advanced past the second round since their 2023 Cup win. The combination of Eichel’s extension talks and Marner’s arrival places high-stakes pressure on the club’s roster construction and fantasy outlook for 2025-26.
