The Seattle Kraken and forward Jordan Eberle have agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $9.5 million, with an annual average value (AAV) of $4.75 million, averting the possibility of Eberle being moved before the NHL trade deadline. The extension includes a full no-trade clause, ensuring Eberle's stay in Seattle amidst speculations about his future with the team. Discussions around Eberle's contract had been a focal point due to the Kraken's improving playoff odds, making the decision to keep or trade him a significant one for the team's postseason aspirations. The Oilers had shown interest in reacquiring Eberle, highlighting his value on the market. This agreement comes as the Kraken are just six points shy of a playoff spot, and Eberle's presence could bolster their chances.

I thought Eberle would be someone the Blackhawks might pursue in the offseason if available. They need a creator to play with Bedard. https://t.co/062UR732vS
It appears the Jordan Eberle extension is done, per @CapFriendly. 2 years x 4.75 million AAV. Full no trade clause.

Jordan Eberle and Seattle have resumed contract talks. Optimism that it could get done.
There’s one player to keep an eye on for the Oilers on deadline day: RW Jordan Eberle. It sounds like the team remains interested in the pending UFA former Oiler. As I wrote last night, it seems the odds are low that the Oilers will make a notable trade. https://t.co/iDG5j77dq7

Kraken decision looms on whether to keep or trade Jordan Eberle just as playoff odds start to improve -- now just 6 points out of not only both wild-card spots, but 3rd place in division. https://t.co/2laDHrUcaU #SEAKraken #NHL

Believe #Oilers are one of the teams keeping an eye on #SeaKraken and Jordan Eberle situation. Seattle and Eberle are working on an extension, but it sounds like term is the hang-up. If Seattle doesn't have Eberle signed, he will be moved prior to Friday's deadline.
