Ryan Poehling signs contract extension
Ryan Poehling has agreed to a four-year, $15 million contract extension with the Anaheim Ducks, securing his position with the team through the 2029-30 season. This deal comes as Poehling has made a notable impact this season, recording seven goals and 17 assists in 54 games.
The Ducks acquired Poehling along with a second-round pick from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Trevor Zegras, marking a significant trade for both franchises. Since joining Anaheim, Poehling has co-led the team in plus/minus and shorthanded assists, showcasing his versatility and contribution on the ice.
Poehling, originally selected 25th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, has played for four NHL teams: Montreal, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and now Anaheim. His previous contract was a two-year deal worth $3.8 million, which he has now surpassed with this new extension.
Last season, while with the Flyers, Poehling recorded 31 points, including 12 goals and 19 assists, indicating his offensive capabilities. The Ducks’ investment in Poehling reflects their confidence in his potential to grow and contribute significantly to the team’s future.
As the season progresses, observers will be keen to see how Poehling continues to develop his game with Anaheim and whether he can maintain or improve upon his current performance levels. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further changes or trades involving the Ducks or Poehling himself.
