For the second time in consecutive summers, we'll have to get used to one of our own looking out of place in a Ducks uniform. After Doug Wilson pulled out of the deal to move #3 to San Jose, Benning finally found his second round pick and made Kevin Bieksa a Duck in the process.
And, now, a quick Twitter break to test your intestinal fortitude:
Unlike Ryan Kesler's expedited exit out of town, Bieksa's exit is all about that final year of his $4.6 million dollar contract. A well-earned deal mind you: Bieka's 597 games played and 241 career points puts him 28th on the list of all time scoring leaders behind Geoff Courtnall.
