Anaheim Ducks: The Ducks announced that VP and GM Bob Murray signed a two-year contract extension that runs through 2021-22.

“Bob has created a winning organization with his commitment and expertise,” said Ducks Chief Executive Officer Michael Schulman. “We are very pleased to be in a position where expectations are high virtually every season, thanks in large part to Bob and his staff. We passionately share a common goal – bringing another Stanley Cup to Orange County.”
