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.

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.
