Mikael Granlund, one of the most prominent free agent centers, signed a three-year contract with the Anaheim Ducks worth $7 million annually Tuesday after a season in which the 33-year-old forward posted 22 goals and 66 points.

The Anaheim Ducks announced on the opening day of 2025 NHL free agency that they signed veteran forward Mikael Granlund to a three-year contract that carries an AAV of $7 million.

In his 31 regular-season games with the Stars, Granlund scored seven goals and added 14 assists. But his greatest impact was in the postseason where he played on an all-Finnish line with Roope Hintz and Mikko Rantanen and scored five goals and five assists in 18 playoff games.
