Mikael Granlund signed a three-year contract with the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The Ducks have landed one of the top free agent forwards available, signing Mikael Granlund to a three-year contract.

There’s something to be said, though, for filling out a roster with real, live, proven NHL contributors, especially when you’ve got a few foundational pieces in place. In Anaheim, those are Leo Carlsson, Mason McTavish, Cutter Gauthier and, hopefully, a defenseman or two. And they’ve all already spent more than enough time losing games.
