Ducks Sign Forward Bodie to Two-Year Contract Extension

The Anaheim Ducks announced on Tuesday that they have signed right wing Troy Bodie to a two-year contract extension. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. He would have become a restricted free agent on July 1. Bodie was signed as an unrestricted free agent by the Ducks last season after the Edmonton Oilers opted not to tender him a qualifying offer. He appeared in only four games last season with the Ducks, his first in the NHL, scoring no points. Bodie is a very tough and gritty forward who has the potential to become a 20-goal scorer on the Ducks checking lines. For now though, this is just a depth signing for the Ducks, as they have plenty of grit on their checking lines for next season. However, Bodie could see playing time next season if injuries begin to mount for the Ducks.
