Anaheim Ducks sign star winger Troy Terry to 7-year contract

The Anaheim Ducks have locked up winger Troy Terry to a seven-year contract extension.

According to The Athletic's Eric Stephens, Terry will earn $7 million annually on his new deal. Terry and the Ducks were scheduled to have their arbitration hearing on Tuesday, with the forward asking for $8 million and Anaheim countering at $4.5 million.

The 25-year-old was Anaheim's most productive player last season, finishing with 23 goals and 61 points in 70 games. Linemate Trevor Zegras tied Terry for the team lead in goals and led the Ducks in scoring with 65 points in 81 games.

A fifth-round pick of the Ducks in 2015, Terry is coming off his second straight 60-point season and is one year removed from a 37-goal campaign.

Terry represented the Ducks at the 2023 NHL All-Star Game in Sunrise, Florida, marking his second consecutive All-Star selection.

For a team that has hung around the doldrums of the league for the last few seasons, Anaheim has been surprisingly active this offseason, signing notable free agents Alex Killorn and Radko Gudas to big contracts. General manager Pat Verbeek still has $20 million in cap space to sign restricted free agents Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale.

Star goaltender John Gibson is reportedly available for a trade as well after reports emerged that the 30-year-old is unhappy in Anaheim.
