On Tuesday afternoon, Ottawa Senators General Manager Steve Staios announced that the club has officially re-signed veteran forward Claude Giroux to a one-year contract extension.
The deal has a cap hit of $2 million, with $3 million in potential performance bonuses, as well as a full no-move clause.
Giroux will receive $1.5 million if he plays 10 games during the 2026-27 season, $500,000 if he appears in 40 games, and $500,000 each if Ottawa advances to the Eastern Conference Final and Stanley Cup Final.
It really never gets old saying Claude Giroux is an Ottawa Senator 🫡
