Manson had eight points (three goals, five assists) in 20 Stanley Cup Playoff games to help the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup.
"Josh was a huge addition to our back end down the stretch and into the playoffs," Avalanche general manager Chris MacFarland said. "He played big minutes on our second pairing throughout the postseason, providing a tough, steady presence in the defensive zone while also contributing on the offensive end with some key goals. Getting him under contract for the next four years helps further solidify our blue line."
Selected by Anaheim in the sixth round (No. 160) of the 2011 NHL Draft, Manson has 120 points (28 goals, 92 assists) in 475 regular-season games for the Avalanche and Ducks, and 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 42 playoff games.
