"I'm so glad it was Anaheim," said Dvorak, who cleared waivers Monday morning and skated for the first time with his new teammates. "It's nice to be back in the NHL for sure."

"It was tough for me to leave after 17 years in the league. That’s how it is. That’s life. Like I said, it's nice to be back with a team like Anaheim. One of the best teams in the league."

"You always have high expectations and this team has that," he said. "They're playing great. I’ve been watching them. It’s been good so hopefully I can fit in and help, you know. Help the guys, win more games and get to the playoffs and go as far as you can. Go for a Cup."

Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said Dvorak likely won't play every day but believes he can use him either on his natural right side or the off wing.

"He can still skate," Boudreau said. "He can still play. He’s a good penalty killer, which is something that we can use. We can never have enough of [that]. So he’s going to be a good advantage to our team."
