Following three campaigns on an entry-level deal, the winger landed a new two-year agreement in the summer of the current year, a significant step forward in terms of both stability and earning power. He hasn’t reached the level of the league’s top 25-and-unders in terms of salary just yet, but the piecing together of his contracts reveals the progression appropriate for a player who has hit all his required milestones as a North American prospect towards becoming a contributor at the NHL level.The current agreement is a fair representation of how the teams currently value Sourdif, that is, as dependable depth with upside, rather than as a surefire top-line scoring threat. Thus, his income profile has been constructed with more base salary than bonuses or off-ice revenue, which provides an accurate picture of how his net worth looks at present.
Justin Sourdif’s rookie contract and early NHL earnings
After being drafted in the third round of the 2020 NHL draft, Justin Sourdif started his professional career on a typical entry-level contract. That is par for the course for most ELCs, and this one had a small NHL salary to go with it, with the pact being performance-based with an AAV in the mid-$800,000 range.During the duration of that contract, Sourdif divided his time between the NHL and the AHL, but most of the money he made during that time was in the form of a base salary as he continued to develop. His career earnings up until that point came predominantly from the early years of that rookie deal, leaving his total income from the first contract comfortably in the low seven figures before his most recent round of contract talks.
Justin Sourdif’s current contract, bonuses, and financial outlook
Sourdif, who’s in the second season of a two-year, $1.65 million contract that has an average annual value of $825,000, signed the contract in June 2025. The structure of the agreement is simple, relying largely on guaranteed base salary rather than upfront signing bonuses or aggressive incentives based on playing time or performance. The contract is roughly $800,000 the first year and $850,000 in the second, so it’s not a 50-50 split between the two seasons.Not quite full-time, but still a decent paycheck with low bonus potential, such is the norm for players still battling to nail down a regular NHL spot. His next deal is the first real opportunity to push his earnings up on a large scale, too. If Sourdif comes close to securing a spot as a regular contributor, one would think he is going to be doing just that.Also Read: Macklin Celebrini extends streak as San Jose Sharks defeat Columbus Blue Jackets in NHL match
