Selanne returns to the Ducks after considering retirement
 Teemu Selanne returned to the Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks on Monday after missing the first half of the season while contemplating retirement.The unrestricted free agent signed a one-year deal and then practiced with the team before it departs Tuesday for an eight-game, 15-day road trip.
“It was a pretty hard practice. I almost forgot how tough it is,” Selanne said afterward. “I really feel this is a good time to come back and go on the road with my teammates. (The trip) gives a little more privacy and the ability to get together with new teammates and get back into action.”
via MSNBC:
Selanne’s deal would have been worth $1.5 million had he started the season at the beginning. Since the Ducks have played 53 games, he’ll get $570,000.
There is a bonus clause in the deal that could pay him an additional $1.2 million if he plays in 10 regular-season games or if the Ducks get into the playoffs.
