The Ducks locked down both of their arbitration-eligible players on back-to-back days, signing Lukáš Dostál to an extension yesterday and doing the same today with Drew Helleson. #FlyTogether @TheHockeyNews thehockeynews.com/nhl/anaheim-du…
With the Ducks signing Lukas Dostal yesterday and Drew Helleson today, they no longer have the most cap space ($21.39 million) of any team in the NHL. That honor now just barely belongs to Chicago ($21.41 million) per @PuckPedia #FlyTogether
Let's celly, Helly! Drew Helleson has signed a two-year contract. #FlyTogether nhl.com/ducks/news/duc…
