The Anaheim Ducks have locked up winger Troy Terry to a seven-year contract extension. According to The Athletic's Eric Stephens, Terry will earn $7 million annually on his new deal. Terry and the Ducks were scheduled to have their arbitration hearing on Tuesday, with the forward asking for $8 million and Anaheim countering at $4.5 million. The 25-year-old was Anaheim's most productive player last season, finishing with 23 goals and 61 points in 70 games. Linemate Trevor Zegras tied Terry for the team lead in goals and led the Ducks in scoring with 65 points in 81 games. A fifth-round pick of the Ducks in 2015, Terry is coming off his second straight 60-point season and is one year removed from a 37-goal campaign. Terry represented the Ducks at the 2023 NHL All-Star Game in Sunrise, Florida, marking his second consecutive All-Star selection. For a team that has hung around the doldrums of the league for the last few seasons, Anaheim has been surprisingly active this offseason, signing notable free agents Alex Killorn and Radko Gudas to big contracts. General manager Pat Verbeek still has $20 million in cap space to sign restricted free agents Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale. Star goaltender John Gibson is reportedly available for a trade as well after reports emerged that the 30-year-old is unhappy in Anaheim.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
