The contract extension Niklas Hjalmarsson reportedly agreed to sign with the Arizona Coyotes last weekend will apparently pay him $5 million per season.
Hjalmarsson's new deal, which can't officially be inked until Sunday, will be worth $10 million in total, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
The veteran defenseman has one more season left on the five-year, $20.5 million pact he signed with the Chicago Blackhawks in the fall of 2013.
He was traded to the Coyotes last June.
