Ducks Sign Francois Beauchemin to Three-Year Extension

The Anaheim Ducks have announced that they have signed defenseman Francois Beauchemin to a three-year contract extension worth $10.5 million. The deal will average out to $3.5 million per season. He would have been an unrestricted free agent this summer. In 47 games this season, he has six goals and 12 assists for 18 points. Not a bad signing for the Ducks, as Beauchemin brings a lot of experience to their defense. He has good size, can log lots of minutes, and can play a physical game. He should continue to be a good fit on the team for the next three seasons.
