Ryan Kesler still had one year remaining on his contract with the Anaheim Ducks, but the team announced Wednesday that Kesler signed a six-year extension.
Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports the fresh deal is worth $41.25 million. Kesler will make $5 million in 2015-16 before his lucrative contract extension takes effect, per Spotrac.com.
The 30-year-old veteran logged 20 goals and 27 assists in his maiden season with the Ducks after spending the first 10 years of his NHL career with the Vancouver Canucks.
