The 22-year-old from Longueuil, Que., was selected in the second round (60th overall) of the 2017 NHL Draft and has put up 51 points in 94 career games with the Ducks across three seasons.

Jones, a first-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft (24th overall) recorded 11 points in 46 games with the Ducks last season, the 23-year-old’s third campaign in Anaheim.

Mahura, meanwhile, suited up in 13 games for the Ducks in 2020-21, collecting a goal and three assists, adding 20 points in 28 games with the San Diego Gulls, Anaheim’s AHL affiliate.
