-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Ducks Sign Defenseman O'Brien to One-Year Contract: The Ducks have signed defenseman Shane O’Brien to a one-year contract through the 2015-16 NHL season. Per club policy, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. O’Brien, 31 (8/9/83), has recorded 13-79=92 points with a +6 rating and 916 penalty minutes (PIM) in 537 career NHL games. O’Brien began his NHL career with the Ducks, making his debut in 2006-07 (2-12=14 points with a +5 rating in 62 games). He went on to play for Tampa Bay, Vancouver, Nashville, Colorado, Calgary and Florida, compiling career highs in goals (4) and points (21) in 2007-08 with the Lightning. The 6-3, 230-pound defenseman has also appeared in 40 career Stanley Cup Playoff games with Tampa Bay, Vancouver and Nashville, scoring 2-3=5 points with 79 PIM. Selected by Anaheim in the eighth round (250th overall) of the 2003 NHL Draft, O’Brien led the Ducks with 140 PIM during his rookie season in 2006-07. On Feb. 24, 2007, the Port Hope, Ontario native was acquired by Tampa Bay with a third-round selection in the 2007 NHL Draft in exchange for Gerald Coleman and a first-round pick in the 2007 NHL Draft. http://ducks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=775058 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Former Canuck now joins Kevin Bieksa and Ryan Kesler in Anaheim. Only difference being SOB's back where he started his career. He won't get the same playing time either I'd guess, but hey. OMG! The Pacific has gotten so much bigger and tougherrrrr this summer. Canucks have no chance! The SOB signing has finally pushed you over the edge eh? I sense sarcasm considering SOB will get limited at best minutes (or will he play in the AHL for them?).

LaBamba Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 OMG! The Pacific has gotten so much bigger and tougherrrrr this summer. Canucks have no chance! Yes, indeed. I'm not sure if you ever mentioned this before but do you like pie? And if so what flavour do you fancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Even SOB would be an upgrade on Sbisa. I'm so demoralised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icer Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I doubt he even makes the Ducks. Most likely a AHL depth/ emergency call up signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 One would think Kesler and Bieksa were consulted on this. Not to mention the Ducks had him already years ago. Maybe he's not that bad a guy. In the least a great guy to hang out with for the cup parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Yes, indeed. I'm not sure if you ever mentioned this before but do you like pie? And if so what flavour do you fancy? I love pie. Lemon meringue, blueberry, strawberry-rhubarb, pecan - I love so many kinds of pie. You? Like? Pie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Is he still playing? Wowzers. Sadly, the Canucks have nobody nearly as tough as him on their defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All on the ice at the same time. Had actual toughness for a short amount of time during the AV era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
