Logan Couture, San Jose Sharks agree to contract extension (Report)

Not long after Boston Bruins fans were in jovial spirits with the 2-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, San Jose Sharks fans joined in the happiness when news leaked that forward Logan Couture had agreed to a long-term extension.

Couture Tweeted "Big dayyyyy" as a hint, then CSN Bay Area's Brodie Brazil broke the good news for Sharks fans.

No term or dollar amount have been released yet. Couture cannot sign the deal until July 5, so there won't be an official announcement from the Sharks' side for a while. CSN Bay Area's Kevin Kurz Tweeted he expects the deal to be five years.

Couture was scheduled to become a restricted free agent after the 2013-14 season, where he'll make $3 million in salary. Over the past three seasons, he's averaged 29 goals and 55 points.

With Couture locked up, that leaves Sharks general manager Doug Wilson with one less question going forward. His long-term plans for Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, Joe Pavelski and Dan Boyle, who will enter next season on the final years of their deals barring an extension, still remain to be seen.
