The contract is for one year and worth $4.775 million.
The Utah Mammoth have until July 8 to exercise its right of first refusal on the 26-year-old center, per section 10.3 of the NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement. If they decide not to match the contract, they will receive a second-round draft pick as compensation.
