Overview
- The Anaheim Ducks announced Saturday that they signed 25-year-old center Tim Washe to a four-year contract extension.
- Reports put the total value at $9 million with a $2.25 million average annual cap hit and state the new deal will begin in 2027-28 after his current contract ends.
- Washe rose from the BCHL and five seasons at Western Michigan, where he served as captain and helped the Broncos win the 2025 NCAA title before signing with Anaheim as an undrafted free agent.
- He split 2025-26 between the AHL San Diego Gulls, where he scored 14 goals and 27 points in 36 games and made the AHL All-Star Classic, and the Ducks, where he has roughly 41 NHL games with two goals and five points.
- The extension locks an inexpensive fourth-line center into Anaheim’s depth chart through 2029-30 while drawing debate because the term arrives after a limited NHL sample despite Washe’s strong faceoff rate and physical play.
