Nice! I'm sure Rosehill will see some NHL action this year.... The Ducks are looking tough alright

[McDonald19]

Surprising news.

I'm hoping this means Leblond will be called back to Anaheim soon.

[lilburtis9363]

Damn, rosehill and leblond that's awesome! Bodie fights too

[ThrowdownSJ408]

[straka91]

A lot of great signings by the Ducks and Admirals last couple of weeks.
Hope they return to tough team, one they used to be.

[RetardedChimp]

Figured this was coming.

Either Rosehill or Leblond will probably be in Norfolk for the majority of the year...which is just fine.

Good, Rosehill's getting signed too. That means he might get at least a couple games because they didn't have to bother. I hope Rosie and PL3 get some serious time in the NHL but I'm expecting 10-15 games combined this year between the two. Let's hope they make the most of it and get more than we expect. I can really see Rosehill getting called up and staying up at some point, like if Staubitz is injured.

Oh and for the record:

Leblond 2-way, 550k
Rosehill 2-way, 550k
Bodie 2-way, 550k
Parent 2-way, 600k

All one year each, but better than nothing to be sure.

EDIT: Rosehill had to be signed by the Admirals or Anaheim anyway because he was at the end of his 25-game pro tryout signed in September.

wrong about rosehill...as i stated before, he could have gotten another pto with norfolk before having to be signed to a contract or released
