Short answer: Tage Thompson is under a seven-year contract with the Buffalo Sabres, signed in August 2022, worth $50 million with an average annual value of about $7.14 million.
Details
- Contract terms: 7 years, $50 million total; AAV approximately $7.14 million per season. This extension kicked in for the 2023-24 season and runs through the 2029-30 season. [Sources discuss the 7-year, $50M deal and its starting point in 2023-24].
- Context: Thompson broke out with 38 goals and 68 points in the 2021-22 season, which led to the extension offered by the Sabres at that time. [Reports from ESPN/nhl.com-family outlets cover the breakout and the contract at that time].
- Status as of 2026: The seven-year deal remains in effect, ending after the 2029-30 season, with Thompson continuing to be a core piece for Buffalo during that period.
