New York Islanders forward John Tavares and Buffalo Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers are both on the verge of multi-year contract extensions with their respective teams.
While the deals have not yet been finalized, they are both believed to be in six-year range and worth an annual average of roughly $5.5 million.
Both Tavares and Myers have one year left remaining on their entry-level deals signed in 2009.

Good deals for both players and clubs if this pans out as expected.

If they are truly in the 5.5 range, take note Drew Doughty camp.

One guy is a former #1 overall pick with solid numbers on a woeful Isles team and the other is a stud young d-man on a rising contender (IMO) with a Calder Trophy on his resume.

Good job locking up Myers!

Great news, love it when young guys stay put with the team that drafted them. Granted, 5.5 million is nothing to turn your nose at...lol.

TSN confirms not only the Tavares contract, but also that everybody's favourite human being, Brad Marchand, has a new 2-year, $5M deal in Boston.
