Rumors were McClement wanted more than $2.5m and he signed for $1.5m.

Don't blame your GM, something seems a bit off about both of their signings to be honest.

I like this signing. Still doesn't make up for the bonehead Souray signing though...

[Duffman955]

Certainly a good pick up at that price for the ducks. Congrats

Probably one of the better players still left out there excluding Semin, Doan, etc.

Great signing. I too thought he'd be gone a lot quicker but if the rumors about his negotiation tactics are true, I guess he had to settle for less. Great bottom 6 winger and PKer though.

I would have taken Winnik back for $1.8/yr. But... he probably wouldn't have signed for that much with us.

So Galiardi for McGinn, Connolly, Sgarbossa? ouch

Don't keep repeating it...

Really like this deal a lot. It's a good rate for him. He's right at around that $2M mark like Adam Burish and McClement.

Seems from this interview that Winnik knew the Sharks were done with him when they signed Burish.

good move by ducks.

Winnik and DSP could make for solid wingers on a future shutdown line..now we need someone to step up and center them

Actually Burish makes slightly more

He finally realized he wasn't going to get what he was looking for at first.

Definitely an ouch right now. We'll see if opinions change in a couple seasons.
