Yesterday the Anaheim Ducks signed former Minnesota Wild forward Dany Heatley to a low-risk, low-cost one year contract worth $1 million. Lets take a look at how this compares to a handful of other recent free agent signings this off-season...
For the cost of this many Heatleys… | You could pay for... |
7 Heatleys |
Paul Stastny$7million, St. Louis Blues |
6 Heatleys |
Jaromir Jagr$6million, New Jersey Devils |
5 Heatleys |
Andrew MacDonald$5million, Philadelphia Flyers OR Radim Vrbata$5million, Vancouver Canucks OR Mikhail Grabovski$5million, New York Islanders |
4.5 Heatleys |
Jonas Hiller$4.5million, Calgary Flames |
3 Heatleys |
Stephane Robidas$3million, Toronto Maple Leafs OR Mathieu Perreault$3million, Winnipeg Jets |
2 Heatleys |
Brad Richards$2million, Chicago Blackhawks |
1.2 Heatleys |
Shawn Thornton$1.2million, Flroida Panthers OR Mike Brown$1.2million, San Jose Sharks |
0.6 Heatleys |
Curtis McElhinney$600k, Columbus Blue Jackets |
There's not likely to be much upside for Anaheim with a Dany Heatley who has long since been on the decline, but at least his contract is not an albatross.
Reasonable enough, I won't complain.
