Koivu signs a 1 year deal...

The Anaheim Ducks announced today that the National Hockey League (NHL) club has signed center Saku Koivu to a one-year contract extension through the 2012-13 NHL season. Per club policy, no financial terms of the deal were disclosed.

Koivu, 37 (11/23/74), appeared in his third season with Anaheim in 2011-12, scoring 11-27=38 points with a +7 rating and 50 penalty minutes (PIM) in 74 contests. He co-led the team in takeaways (35), ranked second in shifts-per-game (24.5), tied for second in plus/minus and third in assists. The 5-10, 180-pound center led the club in faceoff wins (646) and faceoff percentage (52.4), while ranking fourth among team forwards in time-on-ice (18:07).

Last night I pointed out to the guy next to me we were probably watching Jagr's final NHL game. The I brought up how he might go out the same year Brodeur, Selanne, and Lidstrom do.

Besides Brodeur, lets keep them around.

Yes!!!

$3 million. little high, but he's a good vet for the team.

Maybe not too high anymore ducky. It seems like even marginal players are getting this now.

Good deal if he can play like he did in the first half of the season rather than the last half.

Teemu is coming back. I doubt Koivu would have signed if his buddy wasn't returning as well.

Kinda off-topic, but can we get Pat Burns into the Hockey Hall of Fame already?!?
