Ducks holding onto their Ducklings

COLUMBUS-- Ducks GM Brian Burke has re-signed veteran defenseman Sean O'Donnell to a 2-year contract worth an estimated US$1.25 million dollars per season.

O'Donnell had a good year last season, according to his standards, registering 17 points in 79 games played.

He provided a good defensive presence, as indicates his plus/minus of plus 9, and was a big leader in the Ducks' run to the Stanley Cup.

Burke also has re-signed defenseman Kent Huskins, 28, for two more years, at US$1.25 million per season.

Huskins had two stints with the Ducks last season, one as a call-up due to an injury to O'Donnell and the second when the Ducks dealt defenseman Shane O'Brien to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

After being called up to replace O'Brien, Huskins never left the Ducks, and subsequently won the Stanley Cup with the Californian "Franchise".
