Coyotes Sign Logan Cooley to Entry-Level Contract
The 2022 third overall pick, Logan Cooley, has officially signed with the Arizona Coyotes and will make the jump to professional hockey.
thehockeynews.comHere’s what I’m seeing about Logan Cooley’s contract situation recently:
- Most reports in late 2025 indicated Cooley was connected to a sizable extension with Utah (the team sometimes referred to as the Mammoth in fictionalized summaries), with figures around eight years and roughly $80 million being cited by several outlets. These accounts suggest the deal would be front-loaded and carry a high annual value, solidifying Cooley as a core piece of the franchise.[2][3][4]
- There were earlier hints that negotiations could continue into the next offseason if terms weren’t immediately agreed, including discussions about whether an eight-year option would be feasible given impending collective bargaining changes. These articles highlight the context that the NHL’s evolving CBA could influence contract length limits for free agents and entry-level players, potentially shaping long-term offers.[4][5]
- Some outlets emphasized that Cooley's camp was willing to wait or negotiate for maximum term and value, rather than accepting a pre-season offer, suggesting a potential for a record-setting or franchise-significant deal if he and the team remain aligned on timelines.[5][7]
If you want, I can pull the latest public updates and summarize them with dates and key terms (including any official team announcements) and provide a short comparison of the most credible options reported. I can also track whether a new extension was finalized or if negotiations shifted to later dates. Would you like me to search for the very latest official announcements or league sources to confirm the current status?
