Anaheim Ducks Sign Josh Manson to Long-Term Contract


A financial services professional with Wells Fargo Advisors, Walt Hommerding serves as the Managing Director-Investments at the firm’s office in Newport Beach, California. In his free time, Walt Hommerding follows the National Hockey League as a fan of the Chicago Blackhawks and the Anaheim Ducks. 

The Anaheim Ducks added another player to their long-term roster by signing defenseman Josh Manson to a contract extension that will keep him in Anaheim through the 2020-2021 season. The contract is reportedly worth $4.1 million per year. Manson will play alongside defensemen Hampus Lindholm, Cam Fowler, and Sami Vatanen, who each recently signed long-term deals with the team. 

The 26-year-old Manson was drafted by the Ducks as the 160th overall pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Despite entering the NHL as a sixth-round pick, however, he has become one of the team’s most promising players. 

During the 2016-2017 season, Manson scored five goals and tallied 12 assists in 82 appearances. Entering the 2017-2018 season, the Northeastern University alumnus had posted career numbers of 10 goals and 25 assists in 181 regular-season games. As long as he stays healthy, Manson will likely continue to be a core member of the Ducks' defense, which is one of the best in the NHL.
