Selanne signs two-year deal with Anaheim.

[Rice 42]

Dan Wood:

Right wing Teemu Selanne is scheduled to be in the Ducks’ lineup for Sunday’s 5 p.m. exhibition game against the Vancouver Canucks at Honda Center after signing a two-year, $5.25 million contract earlier in the day.

Interesting that it's for two years.

[Son of a Wing 1,644]

Yeah also interesting it puts them back over the cap by approximately 1.225 mil.

The signing of Selanne once again pushes the Ducks above the NHL’s $56.7 million salary ceiling for this season, by about $1.225 million… The Ducks’ current salary-cap projection includes having rookie winger Bobby Ryan on the NHL roster, which isn’t a given, but appears more likely than not. Were the Ducks to assign Ryan to their American League affiliate, the Iowa Chops, the Ducks would slide more than $500,000 beneath the cap with that move alone.

Now they can play the retired card next year, as well.

2 years?! but anyways :siren: awesomeness....

I keep hearing that they are trying to trade Marchant to get under the cap. I am a little surprised Salami was signed for two years.

They can try, but he has a no-trade clause. They could waive him, I suppose.

I dont have a link, but the guys on xm 204 all week have been talking about moving Schneider, and getting Selanne in. They were saying exactly whats happened thus far, about Selanne still putting them over the cap and that Marchants name kept coming up as a possibility for them to move.

suck it teemu! you can use the alternate exit, like ya did in san jose...your such a star. too bad you didn't sign with the av's again...so you and hopefully claude could get killed by the wings

Good for Teemu. I've always been a huge fan.

Ducks aren't the same without Teemu

Yep, figured they'd end up over the cap again. Who's gonna bail Burkie out this time?

[Booster313 138]

Good move for the ducks...Maybe they will actually be a contender this year as the team will have time to gel. That's a pretty reasonable price for Selanne as well.

I would think the solution is Marchant in the AHL.

[lfd250 1]

this will keep him in shape until the 2010 olypics. That's why 2 years.

Is he on a two-way contract? If not, his salary counts the same.

He's on a one-way contract, but it was signed when he was under-35, so if he's sent to the AHL, he would be off the Ducks cap. He would still get his NHL salary in the AHL.

I am just curious why Marchant is the focus of them getting under the cap there? Do you know why?

[puckloo39 5,686]

I remain a huge fan of Selanne and am glad he's still playing, even if it is for the Ducks. Good for the game, good for Teemu!

He's a shadow of his former self, and he makes $2.51 million on the cap. He hasn't broken 10 goals in a season since 2002/03.

He's a good two-way player, but he's paid way too much to be a guy who barely cracks their 4th line.

Thanks. I didn't know a whole lot about him, and had no idea he makes that much. Talk about overpaid. Maybe another team will take him on.

Haven't you kept up with the Anaheim talks on this board?

Burke has no idea what to do. He just waits for me to post and figures out how to proceed from my suggestion of what moves he should make.

I figured thats how it was working there. Just let me know next time, and I will drive 10 miles and personally deliver your message! lol.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Good move despite his age, Ducks should have a better start this year now that Neidavacation and Salami are in the lineup. Looks like they taught Sundin well.
