Victor Hedman signs an eight-year extension with Lightning

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman has signed an eight-year, $63 million contract extension with the club.

What It Means:

It's slightly less than what Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman gave Steven Stamkos a few days ago, and Tampa now has its two best players under contract for a long time. At just 25 years-old, Hedman is already among the NHL's best defenseman, and you'll need to be ready to take him in the first five rounds of fantasy drafts in order to get him on your team.

Hedman's 47 points (10 goals, 37 assists) in 78 games played were the second most of his career, and he was excellent at driving possession. His Corsi For Percentage of 56.1 and his Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength of 7.0 were both easily career highs.
