"[Senators] are closing in on a contract extension with Jordan Spence. Anticipate it will be in the four year range. Could be done today," Garrioch wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Just minutes after Garrioch made the report, the deal was announced, and it's worth four years, $20 million. This is good news for the Senators, as he was set to become a restricted free agent on July 1.
Spence had a solid season for the Senators, as the defenceman played 73 games while finishing with even goals and 24 assists. He was traded to the Senators last summer from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for third- and sixth-round draft picks. Throughout his career, Spence has 15 goals and 77 assists in 253 games between the two clubs.
