Ducks Re-Sign Right Wing Brown to Two-Year Contract

The Anaheim Ducks have announced that they have re-signed right wing Mike Brown to a two-year contract extension. Terms of the deal were not released. He would have been a restricted free agent on July 1. The Ducks acquired Brown from the Vancouver Canucks in February in exchange for defenseman Nathan McIver. In 48 games last season with the Canucks and Ducks, Brown scored two goals and two assists for four points and 145 penalty minutes. In 67 career NHL games, he has three goals and two assists for five points and 200 penalty minutes. This is a good signing for the Ducks, as Brown is a very physical forward who can wear down the opposition. Coupled with George Parros, the two forwards should provide the Ducks with a decent shutdown line next season.
