What happened: The Anaheim Ducks signed Tim Washe to a four-year contract extension Saturday. NHL.com carried the deal after the club announced it.
Why it matters: Anaheim keeps another piece of roster business off the board before the season opens. The extension continues a busy September for the Ducks as they sort out both long-term commitments and cap space.
By the numbers: Washe's new term is four years. Anaheim also gave Cutter Gauthier a six-year, $81 million extension on Sept. 15 and cleared a $6.5 million 2026-27 cap hit when Chris Kreider's contract was terminated earlier this month.
What to watch: Further contract details will show where Washe fits in Anaheim's longer-term cap plan. The Ducks' next roster moves will indicate whether their September transaction run is still moving.
