Happy they are keeping Vaak around. He made a lot of progress last season, and can see him even taking more strides forward next season.

So did Verbeek just use these guys as our back up plan in case we struck out with Free Agents?

Happy to see Urho back

good to see Vaaks back. Much improved from a year ago.

I guess this is what Verbeek means when he wants free agents to want to play for us... willing to take less then their QO. I guess our offseason for defensemen is complete....

Imagine being upset that Vaaks, who has legitimate top 4 upside is re-signed for cheap.

 

[Terry Yake]

Imagine being upset that Vaaks, who has legitimate top 4 upside is re-signed for cheap.

And at the very least is a heartwarming story!

I can't recall a year when anaheim didn't sign a single UFA the first day. Obviously only Burke made real splashes
