The Carolina Hurricanes have signed forward Eric Robinson to a four-year, $6.8 million contract ($1.7 million AAV) extension.
According to PuckPedia, the first three years of the deal come with an eight team No Trade Clause and the final year is the same, but only if in the year prior (2027-28), Robinson plays in 75% of the team's games with at least 12 mins of average time on ice per game.
Robinson, 30, is coming off of a career year in which he set a new best for goals (14) and points (32) while also appearing in every game for the team this season.
The 6-foot-2 winger was a perfect fit in Carolina, able to utilize his speed, size and skating to be an impact player for the Canes in their bottom-six.
He brought some physicality to the roster and could also play up and down the lineup as well as chipping in on the penalty kill.
The deal is Robinson's first long-term contract, perfect for a new dad wanting to settle down with his family, and gives him a substantial pay increase from his previous deal ($950,000).
"It’s no surprise to us that Eric had his best professional season last year with Carolina,” said Carolina general manager Eric Tulsky in a press release. “His size and speed make him an excellent fit for the way we want to play, and we are thrilled that he’s chosen to remain a Hurricane.”
