The Anaheim Ducks are extending forward Sonny Milano on a two-year, $1.7 million contract, per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. The Ducks acquired Milano on February 24, 2020 from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for forward Devin Shore. The 24-year-old would’ve faced restricted free agency and arbitration if not extended.
Milano was drafted 16th overall in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft by the Blue Jackets. In 116 games with Columbus, he notched 20 goals and 22 points, though he was also shuffled between the NHL and AHL, tallying 45 goals and 67 assists for 112 points over 163 games with the Cleveland Monsters.
