One side was looking for a center with grit and veteran savvy. The other side was desperately seeking chance to win a Stanley Cup. So just a couple days after the July 1 start of free agency, the Ducks and Shawn Horcoff put pen to paper on a one-year contract that brought the 37-year-old to Anaheim.
The 6-1, 210-pound Horcoff played the last two seasons with the Dallas Stars after spending the first 12 of his career in Edmonton. Last year in Dallas he had 11 goals and 18 assists, along with a +9 rating that was second on the team.
