Duluth native Bordson of UMD signs with NHL's Ducks
Minnesota Duluth left winger and Duluth native Rob Bordson signed a free-agent contract with the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday.
Bordson, 21, signed a prorated two-year deal worth approximately $900,000 per season — the maximum for a 22-year-old free-agent signee; he will be 22 on June 9 — if he remains with the NHL club. Bordson will report to the team in Anaheim later this week and play with the Ducks for the remainder of the regular season.
"I had a pretty busy day and some tough decisions, but at the end of the day I've always wanted to play professional hockey. It was a tough decision leaving my hometown and college, but it was too good of an offer to pass up," Bordson said. "Nothing would have been guaranteed for next year. I think it was time to move on and take that next step in my career."
