Days after trading James Wisniewski to the New York Islanders, the Ducks on Monday signed 6-foot-6 defenseman Andy Sutton to a two-year contract that will pay him $2 million this season and $2.25 million in 2011-12.

Ducks-logo Sutton, 35, appeared in 72 games with the New York Islanders and Ottawa Senators last season, collecting five goals and 13 points. But here are the important stats: he finished the regular season ranked second among all NHL players with 204 blocked shots and eighth among NHL defensemen with 197 hits. At 245 pounds, Sutton's hits pack a punch, and with his height, blocking shots became his specialty.

Sutton can still play 19 to 21 minutes a night comfortably, and bring a huge physical presence, which puts him in top four range. This is especially the case on the Ducks, who lack a true defensive defenseman that puts fear into the minds of the opposition's forwards.

I think he threw the majority of the best hits last season, and he'll probably continue that in Anaheim next season. Just some of his hits from last season:

He sure likes to throw his weight around. I think we had a thread that had a lot of big hit videos from him during last season if I remember correctly...
