ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -The Ducks are keeping captain Scott Niedermayer in Anaheim with a one-year deal.
Already a foregone conclusion that the star defenseman would be back, the Ducks made it official Wednesday by signing him to a contract worth $6 million plus bonuses.
“Keeping Scott Niedermayer in an Anaheim Ducks jersey was paramount for our club,” general manager Bob Murray said in a statement. “We’re extremely pleased he’s chosen to remain with us and look forward to another great season from a Hall of Fame-bound player.”
Niedermayer considered retirement before announcing his intention to return on Friday, prompting the Ducks to deal Chris Pronger to Philadelphia at the NHL draft.
