-Vintage Canuck- Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Quote What's old is new again. The Anaheim Ducks signed defenseman Francois Beauchemin to a one-year deal, the club announced Monday. Beauchemin's contract has a base salary of $1 million, but the 37-year-old could earn an additional $500,000 in performance bonuses, according to TVA Sports' Renaud Lavoie. The veteran blue-liner was originally acquired by the Ducks in the 2005-06 season as a part of a midseason trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets. He won a Stanley Cup with Anaheim in 2007 before signing in Toronto as a free agent in 2009. His tenure in Toronto was short-lived, as he returned to Anaheim in 2010-11 and spent the last two seasons in Colorado. Joining one of the league's deepest blue lines, Beauchemin will likely find himself in a dog fight for playing time this season. Here is how the Ducks' defense projects: Pairing LD RD 1 Cam Fowler Sami Vatanen 2 Hampus Lindholm Josh Manson 3 Brandon Montour Kevin Bieksa Extras Beauchemin Korbinian Holzer Beauchemin recorded 18 points in 81 games with the Avalanche last season. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1355519-beauchemin-ducks-agree-to-3rd-go-round-on-1-year-reported-1m-deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Good experienced d-man. Very low risk signing. He's played in Anaheim before too. Just too bad he might take away that spot from Holzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
