Nothing wrong with bringing him over

If they sign him, is he going to play for Ducks this season?

I'm sure he'd get a few games. Whether or not he'll stick is a different discussion.

Interesting development track - I personally had written him off as just being a guy in our system who'd never play for the Ducks.

Do we actually still own his signing rights? I feel like the time frame would have lapsed and we'd be signing him as a UFA?
