Anaheim Ducks sign Corey Perry to eight-year contract extension March 18, 2013 – Anaheim, California - Greg Beacham, AP, Writer

ANAHEIM, CALIF.—Corey Perry is following Ryan Getzlaf’s lead yet again, sticking with the Anaheim Ducks for the long term.

Perry agreed to an eight-year, $69 million contract extension with the Ducks on Monday night, keeping the former NHL MVP with the club through the 2020-21 NHL season.
Perry’s new deal is the same length as the extension signed by Getzlaf earlier this month — the longest contracts allowed under the NHL’s new collective bargaining agreement. Just 10 days after Anaheim signed Getzlaf to a $66 million extension, Ducks owner Henry Samueli signed another enormous cheque for Perry, the goal-scoring beneficiary of Getzlaf’s playmaking.
