Joe Pavelski signs new deal with Dallas Stars

Any teams hoping that Joe Pavelski might be up for grabs before this year's trade deadline will have to start looking elsewhere. Pavelski has officially signed a new one-year deal with the Stars. It's worth $5.5 million and contains bonuses of up to $500,000 depending on the amount of games he plays next season.

Pavelski, 37, is having a fantastic year in Dallas, despite the team's struggles. In 56 games, he has 22 goals and 59 points. That actually puts him on pace for one of his best seasons ever in the NHL. In 2013-14, he had 79 points with the San Jose Sharks.

Before signing with Dallas as a free agent in 2019. Pavelski had spent his entire NHL career in San Jose after being drafted in the seventh round by the team in 2003. For such a late pick, he's carved out a very nice career for himself.
