2. Anaheim Ducks Sign Drew Helleson to $2.2M Contract | NHL Free Agency News
The Anaheim Ducks have signed defenseman Drew Helleson to a two-year, $2.2 million contract through the 2026-27 season. The 24-year-old blueliner recorded 4 goals and 9 assists in 56 games last season, leading all rookie defensemen in shorthanded ice time.
Helleson was originally drafted 47th overall by the Colorado Avalanche in 2019 before being acquired by the Ducks in 2022 in the Josh Manson trade.
This signing comes after the Ducks also extended goaltender Lukas Dostal to a five-year, $32.5 million contract. The team has been active this offseason under new head coach Joel Quenneville, trading Trevor Zegras to Philadelphia, acquiring Chris Kreider from the Rangers, and signing Mikael Granlund to a three-year deal.
The Ducks still have over $22 million in cap space with RFA Mason McTavish still needing a new contract as they look to end their seven-year playoff drought.
