Joakim Lindstrom, whom the Ducks acquired in a July 15 trade with Columbus for a 2010 draft pick, has signed a one-year contract. Lindstrom is expected to compete for a top-6 forward spot. It’s a two-way contract that translates to $500,000 less to sign Teemu Selanne if Lindstrom makes the NHL roster.
Lindstrom’s career stats are a little less impressive than Selanne’s.
