Eric Stephens of the OC Register: The Anaheim Ducks have signed Cam Fowler to an eight-year, $52 million contract extension, a $6.5 million salary cap hit.
Today was the first day Fowler was eligible to sign an extension. He was set to become an unrestricted free agent after next season.
“From top to bottom, Anaheim has always treated me right and that’s really given me a great opportunity right from the very start,” Fowler said. “With the coaching staff we have in place, our ownership and the roster that we have, I really feel like we’re very close and I think we’ve proven that.
