Ducks sign Vermette to 2-year deal worth reported $3.5M
The Anaheim Ducks signed forward Antoine Vermette to a two-year contract on Monday, the team announced.
While the club did not release the terms of the deal, it is expected to pay the 34-year-old a total of $3.5 million, according to TVA Sports' Renaud Lavoie.
Vermette became an unrestricted free-agent on Aug. 1 after the Arizona Coyotes elected to buy out the final year of his contract.
More Vermette: "You play the Ducks, you know you're in for a tough game. They're skilled and big. I'm glad to be on their side."

After joining the Coyotes during the 2011-12 season, he was dealt to the Chicago Blackhawks ahead of the trade deadline during the 2014-15 campaign. Vermette rejoined the Coyotes the following offseason.
Last season he amassed 17 goals - his second-highest total since the 2011-12 season - and added 21 assists in 76 games.
