Teemu, times two.
The Ducks signed Teemu Selanne to a 2-year contract worth $3.25 million the first year and $2 million the second. That translates to a $2.625 million cap hat, which once again puts the Ducks over the salary cap. No matter; they have 10 days to get back under and Teemu is a Duck through 2010. (I bold this because there's a no-trade clause.)
Teemu will play tonight against the Canucks at Honda Center (5 p.m.), and judging by the preseason opener, there should be plenty of seats available. Comments from both Teemu and GM Brian Burke after the game...
About J.P.
J.P. Hoornstra has been covering the Anaheim Ducks since 2007. Eight months after the University of Wisconsin won its third NCAA hockey championship, he was born in a frigid Madison winter. He betrayed his blue-blooded beginnings by graduating from UCLA in 2003, and welcomes any and all dialogue on the finer points of hockey.
