Inside the NHL’s Biggest Contract Surprises of 2025: Who’s Winning and Losing Big Bucks?
For starters, Ottawa’s only problem contract is Dylan Cozens, an upside bet many would gladly take a flier on. David Perron being paid $4 million isn’t ideal, but with one year left, it’s fine. If those are Ottawa’s only issues, the team is in good shape.
More impressive are the plethora of strong deals, headlined by two of the league’s best contracts in Tim Stützle and Jake Sanderson. That’s a potential franchise forward and franchise defenseman locked up for six and seven years at a combined $16.5 million. In terms of budding young talent, few teams can compare at that price. Add Brady Tkachuk to that mix and it’s a trio of A-grade deals that give Ottawa a real shot to contend over the next few years.
