The Ducks have extended the contract of general manager Bob Murray for two seasons, taking him through 2021-22. The club made the announcement Saturday morning.
The Ducks have drafted and developed players well under Murray’s leadership and they’ve made the playoffs for six consecutive seasons. They’ve reached the Western Conference final in two of the past four seasons but have not reached the Stanley Cup final since they won the championship in 2007, when Murray was an assistant to Brian Burke.
Murray, who joined the Ducks as senior vice president of hockey operations in 2005, has built a stockpile of talented young players but also has given burdensome long-term contracts to players such as Corey Perry and Ryan Kesler.
