Ducks sign Djoos, Hakanpaa to 1-year extensions

The Anaheim Ducks signed defensemen Christian Djoos and Jani Hakanpaa to one-year contract extensions, the team announced Wednesday.

Terms of the deals were not officially disclosed, but each contract is worth $750,000, according to Helene Elliott of the LA Times.

Djoos was acquired from the Washington Capitals before this year's trade deadline in exchange for forward Daniel Sprong. The 25-year-old blue-liner appeared in nine games for Anaheim after the trade, registering one goal and two assists while averaging over 21 minutes per night - a much bigger role than the one he had in Washington.

Hakanpaa, 28, was drafted 104th overall by the St. Louis Blues in 2010. He spent four seasons in Finland from 2015-19 before joining the Ducks this past season. However, the majority of his time was with the AHL's San Diego Gulls, posting 13 points in 47 contests.
