(CP) - Brenden Morrow, whose consistent scoring and tenacious checking has made him one of the NHL's best two-way forwards, has landed a US$24.6-million, six-year contract to remain one of the Dallas Stars' core players.
"I wanted to stay in Dallas all along and now I can concentrate completely on the ice for this upcoming season," said the 27-year-old native of Carlyle, Sask. "I couldn't be happier and am extremely excited about continuing my career with the Stars for many years."
Morrow's extension will pay the 27-year-old left-winger $4.1 million a year beginning in 2007-2008. He's due $2.2 million this season under the contract he signed previously.
"Signing Brenden to a long-term extension was a top priority for this hockey club," GM Doug Armstrong said in making the announcement Thursday. "We consider him a cornerstone player and an integral part of our team.
"Brenden is one of our main leaders and sets the tone for the club with his consistent play. He brings a lot of energy and tenacity to the lineup each night and the Dallas Stars are extremely proud to have him here over the next seven seasons."
