Teemu Selanne to return to Ducks. Just signed for one year, $4 million

Teemu is an all-time great and still playing well. I really just happy to see he didn't follow every other great play of the last 10 years to finish their career in Detroit!

Glad he came back, future shoo-in HOF, class act, exorbitant amount of skill and still has a pop in his game even as he hit 40.

Dude is a warrior, especially for a skill/speed guy. Remember being impressed by him when I was still living in Russia, mid 90's. Gonna enjoy watching him for another year.

I was born in Dallas and bought a Modano jersey a few years ago... I haven't worn it since he signed.

There is hope for you!

No, in all actuality I had always respected Modano and to see his career end in the press box with the f'ing wings sickens me.

How could he not? He was in tremendous shape last year and continued to light up the league. As long as his fitness is in order, the skills are still there.

There's a good reason I haven't been back there since I moved as a kid haha.

Anyway, not too shocking, I wonder how long Selanne can keep this going and stay healthy.

I would've loved it if he would have signed in Winnipeg. He should've signed there, and Edmonton should've traded Khabibulin to Winnipeg. :okman:

Totally agree but that's how it goes sometimes. Some guys like Selanne are looking at it going "ehh I think I can go one more" and then they get out there and do great. Then you get others who get out on the ice and it's just not what you thought it would be, e.g. Brett Hull.

In a perfect world, all of the all-time greats would have left the game on their own terms knowing they still had it (* cough Ray Bourque)

So they should give Tkachuk a call while they're at it? I heard that missing-tooth smile makes those northern women all warm inside.

Only if they agree to sign Dave Manson and Tomas Steen as well.
