Overview

  • The team announced a two-year contract worth $1 million annually for Sasson on Monday.
  • The deal runs through the 2027–28 season, with CHEK’s Rick Dhaliwal reporting it as a one-way contract.
  • Sasson has six goals and two assists in 29 NHL games after an early-season recall following two AHL appearances.
  • He was on track to reach Group 6 unrestricted free agency on July 1 before the extension.
  • Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2023, he posted 78 points in 106 AHL games and helped Abbotsford win the Calder Cup, drawing praise from GM Patrik Allvin for his improvement and speed.
