Overview

  • The deal carries a $10 million average annual value starting in 2026–27 and runs through 2033–34, making Cooley the club’s highest‑paid player.
  • Cooley, 21, earned the commitment after an eight-goal, 12-point start in 11 games, highlighted by a natural hat trick and NHL Second Star of the Week honors on Oct. 27.
  • Reported structure details include no signing bonuses and a 16‑team no‑trade list beginning in 2030–31, according to PuckPedia.
  • The agreement follows reporting that Cooley earlier declined an eight-year, $77 million offer, with talks described as amicable before landing at $80 million.
  • Utah frames the move as part of a broader plan to lock in a rising core—joining long-term deals for Dylan Guenther, J.J. Peterka, Mikhail Sergachev and Karel Vejmelka—while decisions on Nick Schmaltz and Barrett Hayton still loom.
