BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo Sabres announced Tuesday that the team has agreed to terms on a US$14.1-million, four-year contract extension with forward Jochen Hecht. Hecht's new contract will keep him in Buffalo through the 2011-2012 season.
Hecht, who will earn $2.35 million this year, was slated for unrestricted free agency after this season. He will earn $3.8 million in 2008-09, $3.8 million in 2009-10, $3.5 million in 2010-11 and $3 million in 2011-12.
Named as Buffalo's captain for the month of October, Hecht already has four points in five games this season.
The 30-year-old native of Mannheim, Germany, recorded a career-high 56 points in 76 games with Buffalo in 2006-07. Hecht has scored 298 points in 478 career NHL games with Buffalo, St. Louis and Edmonton.
The Sabres acquired Hecht from Edmonton on June 22, 2002, in exchange for the 31st and 36th picks in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. He was originally St. Louis' first choice (2nd round, 49th overall) in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft.
