The Dallas Stars have locked their reliable forward Roope Hintz to a new contract. The Stars announced on social media that Hintz inked an eight-year extension that will now keep him with the franchise through the 2030-31 season.

The contract is worth $67.6 million and comes with an $8.45 million average annual salary for Hintz. However, according to reports, the 26-year-old will get half of the money in the first three years, including a big chuck of a $12 million signing bonus.

Hintz will now have the third-highest cap hit among the Stars players next season, which shows how much the Stars believe in him. He has been getting better each season since his debut in NHL in 2018, and Dallas seems convinced this will continue to be the case in the future.

Roope Hintz had his best campaign as a pro last season when he had career highs across the board and emerged as one of the Stars’ best players. He finished 2021-22 with 37 goals and 35 assists for a combined 72 points. He later added four points in six playoff appearances.

The 2022-23 season is also shaping up to be productive for Hintz, as he already has 24 points (8 goals and 16 assists) in the first 23 games. His performances have helped Dallas to a 13-6-4 record and a top spot in Central Division at the moment.

Dallas Stars’ goal for this offseason was keeping together the team that reached the Stanley Cup Finals in 2019/20 and it’s safe to say that they are on track to accomplish it. After signing Anton Khudobin and Radek Faksa to new deals early in the free agency, Stars have now also managed to do the same with Finnish forward Roope Hintz.

The team announced earlier this week that Hintz inked a new contract that will keep him with the franchise through the 2022/23 NHL season. The 23-year-old player is set to earn $9.45 million over the course of his deal while receiving $3.15 million annually. 

Roope Hintz enjoyed a breakthrough campaign with Dallas last season, playing 60 games and contributing with career-high 33 points. He was second in goals among all Stars’ players with 19 while adding 14 assists as well.

During the playoffs, Hintz played in all of Stars’ 25 postseason games while scoring two goals and dishing 11 assists.

Re-signing Hintz will most likely be the last big offseason move for Dallas, considering their salary cap shortage.
