"I’m pretty relieved to get it done. This is my first process going through something like this, so I wasn’t sure how long it would take," said Smith-Pelly, of his new contract.
The Ducks begin training camp practice on Friday. Anaheim won the Pacific Division last season before falling to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference Semifinals.
