Wow the Ducks are very pleased to end up with 3 UFAs in the 1 signing period.
Tellqvist will allow Varlamov to take up some AHL minutes. Tellqvist has a 63ov rating right now, at 1 million he will fit in perfectly and then be released after this season.
PJ Axelsson we sent a ton of money towards but with his ratings we had to. He brings a 77DF along with his 62OV. He cost a lot of money but we had the cap space and felt the need to add another elite defender to the team.
Douglas Murray is just a depth Dman, we owned his rights before but didn't want to give him 1.7 for 3 years one way (or somewhere around there). He is actually a solid NHL dman which is why we wanted him for 3 years, if he ends up being terrible well we can just waive him and his small contract down to the AHL.
