After helping the Colorado Avalanche win a Stanley Cup, defenceman Josh Manson has decided to remain with the team on a four-year deal worth $4.5 million each season.
Manson was acquired by the Avalanche in a deal with the Anaheim Ducks prior to last season's trade deadline.
Manson had three goals and five assists in 20 playoff games for the Avalanche.
For the season, he had a combined six goals and 10 assists in 67 games for Anaheim and Colorado.
The six-foot-three Manson has 120 points (28 goals, 82 assists) in 475 career NHL games with the Ducks and Avalanche.
The Ducks picked Manson in the sixth round (160th overall) of the 2011 NHL Draft.
