Nah I'm pretty sure he's a UFA. He's been in the league for a long time and signed a 7 year contract at one point.
Only
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps says he's signed. Everywhere else I read suggest he's a UFA.
He's a UFA or signed I think the discrepancy between everyone is interpenetrating when his 7 year extension actually kicked in... 2013/ or 2014.
It’s bleacher report, they suck at hockey and have it wrong. Read the comments on the bottom.
Other articles will talk about him signing this summer but it would be an extension in Edmonton. Since you can only sign that with a year remaining.
And if you want to trust the one misguided article... add up the years.
