Ducks Sign Andrew Gordon to One-Year Deal

The Anaheim Ducks have announced that they have signed right wing Andrew Gordon to a one-year, two-way contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In nine games last season with the Washington Capitals, he had one goal and one assist. He also appeared in 50 games with Hershey of the AHL, scoring 28 goals and 29 assists for 57 points. This is really just a depth signing for the Ducks, although it's not a bad one. Gordon works hard on the ice, plays with plenty of energy, and can produce points at the minor-league level. Given the offensive depth on Anaheim's roster for next season, he will likely spend the majority of the season in the minors.

***UPDATE***
Gordon's contract is actually a two-year deal worth $525,000 at the NHL level and $250,000 at the AHL level for the 2011-12 season and $550,000 for the 2012-13 season.
