The Anaheim Ducks made their first signing off free agency as they signed forward Mikael Granlund to a three-year deal with a $7 million AAV. Granlund last season spent time with the San Jose Sharks before being traded to the Dallas Stars. In 83 games, he had 66 points on 22 goals and 44 assists. He finished even in plus/minus and had 19 power-play points. The Ducks add some scoring to their top six after trading Trevor Zegras just last week.
