Last year Beauchemin at age 34 was one of the best Ducks defenseman this year at age 34 Bieksa was a play killer.

The Ducks extended Bieksa for 2 more years at 4M. Colorado paid Beauchemin 4.5 for 3 years... 2 years left. In a couple of years when Gio is their age he will be making 6.75 and have 4 years left.
