The deal will pay Beleskey, 27, just about $400k more than Reilly Smith made. Beleskey is coming off his breakout season, scoring 22 goals last year with the Ducks. Granted he overperformed in a contract year, but the left winger has some skill and size, and at less than $4 million for his prime years is seemingly a good contract.
