ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Anaheim Ducks agreed to an eight-year contract extension with right wing Corey Perry on Monday, keeping the former NHL MVP with the club through the 2020-21 NHL season.
The deal is worth $69 million for an average of $8.63 million per year, a source told ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun. It also includes a full "no-move clause," which went into effect on Monday, the source said.
The Ducks announced the deal after the first period of their game against the San Jose Sharks.
Perry's new deal is the same length as the extension signed by captain Ryan Getzlaf earlier this month. Just 10 days after Anaheim signed Getzlaf to an eight-year, $66 million extension, Ducks owner Henry Samueli signed another enormous check for Perry, the goal-scoring beneficiary of Getzlaf's playmaking.
