Ryan Poehling signs contract extension with Anaheim Ducks
Ryan Poehling has agreed to a four-year, $15 million contract extension with the Anaheim Ducks, a move that underscores his growing importance to the team. The extension will keep him with the Ducks through the 2029-30 season.
This season, Poehling has contributed significantly on the ice, recording seven goals and 17 assists in 54 games. His performance has been notable as he co-leads the Ducks in both plus/minus and shorthanded assists, showcasing his versatility and impact in crucial game situations.
Poehling, 27, was originally a first-round pick by the Montreal Canadiens in 2017. Over his career, he has played for four NHL teams, including Montreal, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and now Anaheim. His recent acquisition by the Ducks came in a trade that sent Trevor Zegras to the Philadelphia Flyers, along with a second-round pick.
Prior to this extension, Poehling was under a two-year, $3.8 million contract. His new deal reflects not only his current performance but also the Ducks’ commitment to building a competitive roster for the future.
Throughout his career, Poehling has played a total of 337 NHL games, with a career-high of 31 points in a single season. His ability to adapt and contribute across different teams has made him a valuable asset in the league.
As the Ducks look to strengthen their lineup, Poehling’s extension is seen as a positive step forward. Observers are keen to see how his role will evolve in the coming seasons, particularly as the team aims to improve its standings in the NHL.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further moves the Ducks may consider as they continue to reshape their roster around key players like Poehling.
