Ducks Sign Bryan Rodney to One-Year Contract

The Anaheim Ducks have announced that they have signed defenseman Bryan Rodney to a one-year, two-way contract. The deal will pay him $525,000 at the NHL level and $250,000 at the AHL level. In three games last season with the Carolina Hurricanes, he had no points. He also appeared in 77 games with Charlotte of the AHL, scoring nine goals and 38 assists for 47 points. This is really just a depth signing for the Ducks, as Rodney will likely spend most of next season in the minors. If he sees any time with the Ducks in 2011-12, it will likely be as an injury replacement.
