Share

Teemu Selanne isn't finished yet.

The 42-year-old on Thursday agreed to a one-year, 4.5 million deal with the Anaheim Ducks.

"Sometimes, age is just a number," Selanne said in a phone interview while on vacation in Italy. "Age is a funny thing. A lot of times, I don't really feel 42. It's just a number. It all depends on how you feel."

Next season will be Selanne's 20th in the NHL. He has 1,406 points (663 goals) in his remarkable career.

Selanne has spent the last seven years with the Ducks, winning the Stanley Cup in 2007. He has scored at least 25 goals in six of those seven seasons.
Sens extend Neil
The Ottawa Senators on Thursday signed forward Chris Neil to a three-year contract extension.

Neil has spent his entire 10-year career with Ottawa, recording 90 goals, 110 asssists and a franchise-leading 1,861 penalty minutes.

The 33-year-old played 72 games last season, registering 13 goals and 15 assists. He was selected by the Sens 161st overall in the 1998 draft.

Coyotes add Johnson
Nick Johnson and the Phoenix Coyotes have agreed to a one-year, two-way contract. Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.

Johnson played 77 games with the Minnesota Wild last season, scoring eight goals and adding 18 assists.

The 26-year-old has played 87 career games with the Wild and Pittsburgh Penguins, tallying 10 goals and 21 assists.
