It’s expected that both general manager Bobby Webster and head coach Darko Rajakovic will be offered contract extensions in the coming weeks, Sportsnet has learned. Each of them have another year left on their current deal.
As one well-placed source put it: “You don’t have your head coach and general manager head into the final year of their contracts as lame ducks, not after a playoff year.”
As another said: “It will happen when it happens,” referring specifically to Webster, “but it will happen.”
The timing, length and any other details related to an agreement with Webster are still to be determined as there have yet to be formal discussions with MLSE beyond a mutual understanding that there is a deal to be had. New terms with Rajakovic — who had a year added to his initial three-year deal in the second half of the 2024-25 season — will likely be Webster’s call.
