The Anaheim Ducks have signed defenseman Francois Beauchemin to a 3 year contract extension worth $10.5 million, a $3.5 million salary cap hit.
Beauchemin took a slight decrease in pay as he carried a $3.8 million cap hit in current deal.
Dennis Bernstein via twitter: Bernstein thinks that this move may mean they are more likely to keep the core together.
