Ritchie signs three-year contract with Ducks

Nick Ritchie signed a three-year contract with the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday. Financial terms were not released.

The 22-year-old forward was a restricted free agent. He had 27 points (10 goals, 17 assists) in 76 games and no points in four Stanley Cup Playoff games last season.
Ritchie missed Anaheim's first seven games of the season, including a 4-1 win against the New York Islanders on Wednesday.

"He did his physicals and fitness [tests], and passed with flying colors," general manager Bob Murray said. "Now it's a matter of immigration. He'll need a few days with the team anyways. ... He will be [practicing] tomorrow."
Anaheim selected Ritchie with the No. 10 pick in the 2014 NHL Draft, and he has 59 points (26 goals, 33 assists) in 186 NHL games and four goals in 19 playoff games.
