Overview
- Cooley’s deal carries a $10 million average annual value, begins in 2026–27 and runs through the 2033–34 season.
- He has eight goals and 12 points through 11 games, including a recent four-game point streak highlighted by a natural hat trick.
- Utah has started 8-3-0 and is tied for first place in the Central Division as Cooley leads the team in goals.
- The extension will make Cooley the highest-paid Mammoth when it takes effect; he was the No. 3 pick in 2022 and has 121 points in 168 NHL games.
- Reporting indicates he previously declined an eight-year, $77 million offer, and public contract trackers list no signing bonus and a 16-team no-trade clause later in the term.
