Sean O’Donnell, who found his role as Chris Pronger’s partner on D this season, has signed a two-year contract extension with Anaheim for 1.25 million per season.
Varius’ Note: While I thought the Ducks wouldn’t retain O’Donnell’s services, at this price I can live with it. I really expected him to go after 2 million a year or more.
Kent Huskins, who played in 33 regular season games last season as well as a more regular role through the playoffs, also signed a two year extension worth 1.25 million total. He will receive $600,000 this season and $650,000 during 2008-2009 for a cap hit of 625 thousand per year).

O’Donnell was expected to go for around $2 million a season if he went into free agency. He signed with the Ducks before free agency started because he wanted to stay here. Here is what he said:
“It’s still great money to do what we do. Who knows how much you could get on the open market? It’s just a good fit. Money wasn’t the primary thing. I love it here. I love the way we play. I love the guys. I’m at a point in my career where I want to win. Once Anaheim came with what I felt was a fair offer, I jumped at it.” - Sean O’Donnell - OC Register
My thoughts…”Thank God!!!”

That’s the right attitude to have, unfortunately it’s not something more widespread with players these days.
I also expected Burke to let him go because he would get 2 million + as a UFA, but for the price they got him I’m happy with it.
