[Coach Selly]

The Ducks have signed center Daniel Winnik to a two-year contract through the 2013-14 NHL season. Per club policy, no financial terms of the deal were disclosed.

Winnik, 27 (3/6/85), has appeared in 366 career NHL games with the Coyotes, Avalanche and Sharks, posting 37-64=101 points with 187 PIM. He appeared in a league-leading 84 games with Colorado and San Jose last season, scoring 8-15=23 points with 52 PIM. Winnik, whose 84 games were the most in the NHL since Sean Avery played 84 in 2006-07 with Los Angeles and the New York Rangers, began the season with Colorado, collecting 5-13=18 points with 42 PIM in 63 games.

I am pretty stoked about this signing for the Ducks. I have a soft spot for Winnik and I have liked him for while. I haven't seen anything with the cap hit but I am sure it isn't too substantial. He's not a huge goal scorer but I think we can count on him for 25-30 points.

So, the contract is for $1.8 million per season. Not too bad.
