Ryan Poehling Signs Contract Extension
Ryan Poehling has agreed to a four-year, $15 million contract extension with the Anaheim Ducks, ensuring his presence on the team through the 2029-30 season. This deal comes as Poehling has been a significant contributor this season, recording seven goals and 17 assists in 54 games.
The Ducks acquired Poehling from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Trevor Zegras, along with a second-round pick. This trade has proven beneficial for Anaheim, as Poehling co-leads the team in plus/minus and shorthanded assists this season.
Poehling, who is 27 years old, was originally a first-round pick by the Montreal Canadiens in 2017. Over his career, he has played for four NHL teams: Montreal, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and now Anaheim. His previous contract was a two-year deal worth $3.8 million.
In his NHL career, Poehling has played a total of 337 games, with a career-high of 31 points in a single season. His performance this season has been a bright spot for the Ducks, who are looking to build a competitive roster moving forward.
As the Ducks look ahead, Poehling’s contract extension is seen as a commitment to developing a core group of players. Observers will be watching to see how his contributions evolve as the team continues to make adjustments for future success.
