With the season Jason Chimera has endured, it wasn't a shock to find out he'd been shipped elsewhere.
The winger was a healthy scratch for five straight games heading into the trade deadline Monday, with only two goals and nine assists in 58 games with the New York Islanders.
So the Ducks jumped on the opportunity to bring in Chimera, a veteran with a wealth of playoff experience and speed, even at 38.
"I've got a lot to prove, I come off back-to-back 20-goal seasons, you want to build upon it," said Chimera, who occupied the left wing on the fourth line in his first practice with the Ducks, the same role Chris Wagner held before he was sent to the Islanders.
