Of course, it doesn't take very long for a club to announce a signing after I produce the 2016 Pool Projections for the year.
On Monday, the Anaheim Ducks added forward Mike Santorelli to the mix, signing him to a 1-year, $875,000 deal.
Santorelli is one of the last pool-worthy forwards left on the unsigned list, as he picked up 12 goals and 33 points in 79 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Nashville Predators in 2015, obviously didn't fitting into either team's longer-term plans.
The 29-year old forward is known for his speed and forechecking, adding a little bit of offensive flair to his game as well. The Ducks could be a very good fit, despite being considered an undersized player by some, his speed will be a very good asset to that team.
The addition now brings the projected roster for the Ducks up to the maximum, 23 players, which will give a hit to some of the depth players in their point projections. Santorelli was projected for 35 points last year, coming damn close, and I think he has a good shot of doing it again with Anaheim. Pat Maroon and Rickard Rakell each took a small hit in their projections to accommodate the new forward.
