Wisniewski Signs on the Dotted Line

The Ducks have avoided next week's arbitration hearing with James Wisniewski by signing him to a new 1-year deal worth $3.25 million on Friday. Wisniewski will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this deal, which will give the Ducks plenty of wiggle room next Summer, but for now, they have a pretty good defenseman back on their blueline for the 2011 season.

In 2010, Wisniewski scored 3 goals and added 27 assists in 69 games with the Ducks, ranking him 51st among all defensemen. He didn't score a lot of goals, which will make him less attractive in those pools that award more for defender goals, but if it's just a points pool like mine, his 30 points look good among the ranks.
