Anaheim Ducks re-signed former Norris trophy winner, and team captain, Scott Niedermayer, today ending speculation as to the defencemans intentions for the upcoming season.
The Ducks got his services for 1 more year at $6M. This is a small discount for his services from this past years $6.75M salary.
The greybeard captain assured team officials of his intent to return over the weekend, prompting the trade of fellow defenceman Chris Pronger to Philadelphia (more on that here.)
It also hastened the return of Teemu Selanne, a long time Duck winger and franchise leading scorer.
Selanne cited Scotty's return as emphasis on the teams desire to win now, as opposed to rebuilding the team, and both players are excited at their prospects.
Looks like GM Bob Murray knows what he's doing afterall, eh folks?
Now we just have to finalize the deal for Wiz, get Frenchie and Marchant back, and Rock this.
I can't wait for September!
