The Montreal Canadiens have locked in their captain and franchise centerpiece for the foreseeable future. Nick Suzuki has officially signed a five-year contract extension with the Canadiens, solidifying his role as the face of the historic franchise. The deal is reportedly worth $45 million, averaging $9 million annually, and will keep Suzuki in Montreal through the 2029-2030 NHL season.

“I’m proud to continue my journey in Montreal,” Suzuki said in a statement. “This city means everything to me, and I want to bring a championship back to these incredible fans.”

 

Canadiens GM Kent Hughes praised Suzuki’s growth on and off the ice, calling him “a cornerstone of our rebuild and a leader for our next generation.”

 

With this extension, the Canadiens are sending a strong message: the future is being built around Nick Suzuki — and they’re not looking back.
