This team will not be handcuffed in any way shape or form... IF GMBM wants to wade into the UFA market for a big fish. IF Bob Wants to wad into the UFA Market he should do it that it will help 1.Develop of Young Ducks and 2. Create Excitment and Spark this team in completing their Restoration and Rebuild.

Ducks have to pay Perry for 3 seasons, $5 Million the upcoming season, but then it drops to $2M for 2021-22 & 2022-23. Getzlaf's contract expires at the end of next season, and he'll make $6 Million. Would he take a discount on a Retirement contract, so the team can land a big fish in 2021, and then another in 2022? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I originally didn't think Getzlaf would get anywhere near the $8.25M he is getting now if he signed an extension. But then I remembered big Joe Thornton scored 50 points in 2016-2017 and signed a 1 year $8M deal at age 37. If Getz scores 50 points next year at age 36 will he get a similar deal? Maybe less per year if he gets a 2 year deal? $6.5M per year over 2 years? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the team was competing for a long run or had a chance to win it, I could see Getz taking a discount to help the team add that final piece and to give himself one last shot at another cup. With the team hurting and about to have some space, I don’t know why he would take a discount. There is no real reason for it outside of him letting the owners off the hook for a couple million. Without Getz we have no real ‘big name’ players on the ice do we? Idk if the rest of the league considers it. Maybe Gibson but I fell like the rest of the core are B list Actor/player kind of guys. Second line tier. Getz might put butts in the stands. Pay the man. Do people get Season tickets to see Fowler or Silvferberg? I would rather pay Getz more to keep him around and on the team for another season or two just to have a little extra something to look forward to (my person opinion on players I want to watch). I don’t really think the team will have a ton of upside for a couple more seasons, if we get lucky with some picks, gems hidden in the draft, surprising UFA signings, young guys finally waking the heck up! We, or at least I, need Getz for the excitement/passion aspect he brings. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We, or at least I, need Getz for the excitement/passion aspect he brings. I think it's even more so unpredictable to really get a good sense of what to expect once the next season starts with this team. A TON more rest than usual -- physical and mental. Does Miller retire? Do we go after Pietrangelo? Do we fire the assistants? I feel like moves like firing the assistants just seem more difficult since they didn't get to "finish the season with the new coach." Do we let the staff have another shot at a full season? And the players that Bob was saying he "put on notice" before the season paused? Firing the assistants, signing Pietrangelo, and moving young guys/prospects (not Zegras) to get a legit forward...and putting Terry in Center... maybe Zegras comes up? Is he ready (probably not)? But if these things happen..I don't see why we couldn't be a legit team literally next season. But to be fair, I'm always believing at the beginning of the season this team can be a legit contender haha Also -- I thought I read somewhere that Getz didn't want to leave Anaheim. So... *shrug* whatever that would mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HockeyIzCool 553 Report post Posted May 26, 2020 The Ducks haven't had a superstar player who spent his entire career with the club. Getzlaf is going to be that guy. His next contract may or may not be his last, that remains to be seen. The only other question is whether the Ducks intend to retire Giguere's jersey, otherwise Getzlaf is most likely to be the next one retired a few years from now.

Fisix 1,628 Report post Posted May 28, 2020 i guess - did we already mention that Kesler went under the knife again and had a new metal head installed onto one of his femurs/into one of his hip joints? there's a pretty gnarly pic on twitter - with the surgical team reflected in what looks like a stainless steel ball peaking out of an open hip and secured to the top of a femur.

Fisix 1,628 Report post Posted September 23, 2020 oh, man. Ducks organization mentioned (inferentially) twice. frankly, i've been wondering about how some of our players haven't been super mentally there, prone to injuries as they enter their time... it would really suck if we've been doping our kids and causing a bunch of those recurring issues season after season. i mean... there has to be some reason why we've had so many more injuries than the average across the league. i don't want to go off the deep end on this, but sheesh.
