The Ducks have signed Derek Grant to a three-year contract worth $4.5 million ($1.5M AAV).

This will be Gran't third stint with the Ducks, returning after flipping him to the Flyers at last year's trade deadline. Grant is coming off of a career-high 25 points (15G / 10A) in 56 games and will be a fourth-line option for the Ducks in 2021.

The Flyers have acquired Derek Grant from the Ducks for Kyle Criscuolo and a fourth-round draft pick.

The 29-year-old Grant is enjoying somewhat of a breakout year in 2019-20, already scoring a career-high 14 goals in 49 games. Grant played predominantly on Anaheim's fourth-line this season, but he had been seeing some time with the first power-play unit. He should slot into the Flyers' bottom-six as they continue to load up on depth for their playoff run.

Grant will sit out of Sunday’s game for “precautionary reasons.”

With the trade deadline coming on Monday, the Ducks will sit Grant tonight and either David Backes or Kiefer Sherwood will draw into the lineup. Grant could be a low-cost piece for a team in need of a fourth-line centre.
