The value of the deal was not disclosed by the organization.
However, according to Sportsnet network hockey expert Elliott Friedman, the main stakeholder will earn an average of $ 9.15 million annually.
The 25-year-old will also earn $ 7 million next season, the last of his previous three-year contract.
As a result, he will avoid limited free agent status in the summer of 2023.
Barzal scored 15 goals and 44 assists for 59 points in 73 games during the last season that ended in a playoff ban for his team.
Since the beginning of his National League career, he has amassed 311 points in 362 games, winning the Calder Trophy in 2017-18. In his first full year on the Bettman circuit, he scored 63 assists in 82 games.
