DANIEL:

The Anaheim Ducks have signed Sheldon Brookbank to a two year extension. Financial terms were not disclosed, as per club policy. It seems Murray wanted to keep around somebody who can make safe plays in his own zone. It has been speculated by some, including me, that Brookbank might make a suitable partner for Visnovsky. Only time will tell. This is the first in a long line of free agents that Murray needs to sign this offseason. Bobby Ryan, Saku Koivu, Kyle Chipchura, Scott Niedermayer, Teemu Selanne and James Wisniewski are all players who were key components of the Ducks roster who are still waiting for contracts.
