The new agreement is a two-year, one-way deal. It carries an average annual value (AAV) of $907,500 and will run through the 2026-27 National Hockey League season.
Mahura, a 27-year-old blueliner, participated in 67 games during the last season. He registered nine points, all of which were assists, and contributed significantly on the defensive end with 89 hits and 54 blocked shots.
