Cutter Gauthier Signs Six-Year, $81M Extension With Ducks Ahead of Camp

The Anaheim Ducks signed star forward Cutter Gauthier to a six-year contract extension carrying a $13.5 million cap hit through the 2031-32 season. GM Pat Verbeek secured the deal just before the previous CBA expired and two days prior to 2026 training camp. Gauthier, who led the team last season with 41 goals and 76 points as a 22-year-old, remains a core offensive pillar alongside the young core as Anaheim prepares for the upcoming 2026-27 campaign.
