Forward Ryan Poehling<\/a> has agreed to a four-year, $15-million contract extension with the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> during his first season with the team.<\/p>\n

The Ducks announced the deal Thursday for Poehling, who has seven goals and 17 assists in 54 games while serving as a top penalty killer and defensive forward.<\/p>\n

Anaheim acquired Poehling and a second-round pick from the Philadelphia Flyers last June in a trade for center Trevor Zegras.<\/p>\n

While general manager Pat Verbeek\u2019s decision to give up on Zegras \u2014 a fan favorite and former first-round pick \u2014 remains unpopular among many Anaheim fans, Poehling has assuaged that disappointment somewhat by excelling in a key depth role for the second-place Ducks, who are firmly in the race for their first playoff appearance since 2018.<\/p>\n

The Ducks are the fourth NHL team for the 27-year-old Poehling, a first-round pick by Montreal in 2017. He spent one season with Pittsburgh before signing as a free agent in 2023 with Philadelphia, where he set career highs with 12 goals and 19 assists last season.<\/p>\n

Poehling is now signed with Anaheim through the 2029-30 season, and he is getting a raise from his current two-year, $3.8-million deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Forward Ryan Poehling has agreed to a four-year, $15-million contract extension with the Anaheim Ducks during his first…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":635471,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[3115,1582,276,270766,270764,283,71096,76572,270763,270762,270765,42155,2961,224,5337,270768,270767,270761,209854,130],"class_list":["post-635470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-anaheim-ducks","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-center-trevor-zegras","tag-deal-thursday","tag-decision","tag-ducks","tag-first-season","tag-former-first-round-pick","tag-four-year-contract-extension","tag-general-manager-pat-verbeek","tag-goal","tag-la","tag-los-angeles","tag-losangeles","tag-many-anaheim-fan","tag-philadelphia-flyers-last-june","tag-poehling","tag-ryan-poehling","tag-trade"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116180232793571080","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/635471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
