Ducks Sign LW Raymond to One-Year Contract

The Ducks have signed left wing Mason Raymond to a one-year, two-way contract through the 2016-17 NHL season. Per club policy, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. 

Raymond, 30 (9/17/85), has collected 115-136=251 points with 156 penalty minutes (PIM) in 542 career NHL games with Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary. The 6-1, 179-pound forward established career highs in most offensive categories with the Canucks as a linemate of Ryan Kesler in 2009-10, including goals (25), assists (28), points (53), power-play goals (8), power-play points (18) and shots on net (217).
