Confirmed with Link: Ducks sign Antoine Vermette to 2-year deal (1.75m AAV)

Didn't know if this was stated or not already (too getzlaf...you know), but Vermette's deal has a NMC this year till June 17, then a NTC (8 team list) the last year. Can be exposed to expansion.

Didn't catch that part. Good to know.

Negotiated expansion bait.

Yep, don't think they'll take him. LV stated they don't won't older players, but this will qualify as 1 of our 2 guys with 70 games started over the past two years (basically, even if he gets hurt, he'll still satisfy that portion of it).

I know that they said this in some press release, but I sincerely doubt that's the truth. Ideally they would build a young team that can play at a high level for years to come, but in reality they have to make the cap floor, so they're pretty much forced to take some ugly contracts as well.

I don't think they'd take Vermette, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some strange names heading to LV next summer.

Even a young rebuilding team needs some veteran leadership and presence in the locker room. Although I'd call it a long shot, I could see a Bieksa fitting in there. Depending of course on whether or not we dangled a Manson or something better. But there will be some old overpaid guys in Vegas when they start up.

Forgot to comment on this event. Cool.

Solid signing, always liked Vermette! I'm hopeful he can still have a positive impact.

Pretty much. There will be a focus on proven and high potential youth but the cap floor is real.

Do you have a nickname yet?
So far, I'm hearing "Verm" or "Vermy." That's usually the case wherever I go.

These hockey nicknames are so laughably lame.

 

[Elvs]

"Verm"... Like "Worm"? Isn't that Corey Perry? And right now we have "Verm" and "Worm" on the same line. Joel Vermin is a left winger who Tampa currently has on waivers. We should pick him up to make the line complete.

If he doesn't play well, it will quickly become vermin.

 

[c4rcy]

bumping this thread made me believe we signed one of the two swedes. the struggle to accept that they might not be in the opening lineup is real

Probably will only take until after the 1st period of the 1st game of the season

Late to the party, but I'm on the same boat as most in that this is a good signing. Rakell issues aside, at least bargain bob didn't dumpster dive so that's always a good thing.
