Report: Sharks, Couture agree on 8-year, $64M extension

The San Jose Sharks and forward Logan Couture have agreed to an eight-year contract extension worth $8 million per season, The Associated Press' Josh Dubow reports.

Couture can't officially sign the extension until Sunday. He has one year left on his current deal at a cap hit of $6 million.

He's entering the final campaign of the five-year, $30-million pact he inked with the Sharks in June 2013.

The 29-year-old center poured in a career-high 34 goals this past season, finishing with 61 points in 78 games.

Couture ranks fourth on San Jose's all-time goals list and sits fifth among the the franchise's all-time points leaders.

He has spent his entire nine-year career with the Sharks, who selected him ninth overall in 2007.
