Coyotes GM Don Maloney announced today that the Coyotes have signed forward Martin Hanzal to a five-year contract extension.
“We are very pleased to sign Martin to a five-year contract extension,” said Maloney. “Martin is a big, strong, skilled center and a core member of our team. He contributes at both ends of the ice and we are confident he will continue to improve to become one of the NHL’s best two-way centers.”
Last season, Hanzal appeared in 61 regular season games for the Coyotes, registering 16-10-26 and 54 penalty minutes. He established new career highs in goals (16), game-winning goals (5), power play goals (7) and hits (147).
Hanzal was the Coyotes’ first choice in the first round (17th overall) in the 2005 Entry Draft.
