GM Pat Verbeek gets a multiyear contract extension from playoff-contending Anaheim Ducks

The extension follows Anaheim’s rise to third in the Pacific Division and a roster built around young talent and recent trade additions, the team said.

  • On Friday, the Anaheim Ducks signed General Manager Pat Verbeek to a multiyear contract extension, with owners Henry and Susan Samueli calling the team "perennial contenders for the next decade."
  • Verbeek took over the Ducks' front office in February 2022 following the resignation of Bob Murray, presiding over a lengthy rebuilding project nearing the end of a seven-year playoff drought.
  • Last summer, Verbeek hired coach Joel Quenneville, who has guided the team into playoff contention with young talent including Leo Carlsson, Cutter Gauthier, Beckett Sennecke, and Jackson LaCombe.
  • The Ducks promoted Mike Stapleton to senior vice president and associate general manager, while Verbeek acquired defenseman John Carlson, who scored 12 points in 13 games during the playoff charge.
  • With three games remaining, Anaheim sits one point out of first place in the Pacific Division and could clinch a playoff spot this weekend, ending the seven-year drought.
