Giguere staying with Ducks
Topic: Sports
Goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere has decided to stay with the Anaheim Ducks, perhaps passing up more money on the open market to sign a 4-year, $24 million contract with the Stanley Cup champions.
"Every single player in this league wants to play for this organization right now," Giguere said Thursday on a conference call. "It's an amazing place to live, ownership is great, it just doesn't get any better in the NHL."
The 30-year-old Giguere was acquired by the Ducks from Calgary in 2000 for a second-round draft choice. He had a 13-4 record in the playoffs while appearing in 18 postseason games with a 1.97 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage.
