"One more year" "One more year" Last's "One more year"

Teemu Selanne will return for a 19th season. Selanne agreed to a one-year, $4 million contract to return to the Ducks on Thursday after the 41-year-old right wing decided his surgically repaired knee will hold up for his 19th NHL season. He finished eighth in the league last season with 80 points, the third-best season in league history for a player past his 40th birthday.

“Hi guys. You guys knew I can’t stop playing yet. So I’m back at least one more season. My middle name is ‘One More. ’ And we start the season in Helsinki so I’ll see you there. ”

Teemu “One Year” Selanne… Definitely goes well together

Last season was pretty special for Selanne. Down the stretch of the regular season, he became one of the most important pieces in the Ducks' surge to the Western Conference playoffs. He scored 80 points in just 73 games last season, 20 of which came in the final 16 games of the year. 

"I really feel like I can still play at the same level I played at in the past," Selanne said. "If you can't do that, you can't enjoy the game as much, and there would be no way I'd come back. The main factor for me is that I can be healthy, my knee is OK to play at this level, and I can use my speed and play at my level." Selanne Described This "Unbelievable" He was talking about the chance to play in his native Finland — where the Ducks open their regular season — and later in Winnipeg — where he spent the first three-plus years of his NHL career.
 

He called both opportunities “bonuses for me. ”

Selanne said on a conference call with reporters Thursday that he didn't consider a return to Winnipeg with the new Winnipeg Jets, even though they did call him this offseason to gauge his interest. The Ducks will play in Winnipeg on December 17. That'll be must-see TV.
