7s7c 0 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks? Shippppppppp plz. Link to post Share on other sites
grocery_mony 9 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 It might work this time. With Anaheim close to the cap already and Getzlaf and Perry becoming RFA's next season Burke has to think long and hard about this one. signing Bertuzzi for 4 mill a year was probally a mistake leaving himself open for such a move. Better hope Bobby Ryan is ready to step up. Link to post Share on other sites

7s7c 0 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Anaheim will match.I really hope not. Seriously. Link to post Share on other sites
Fenxis 99 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 $#@$#@$#@$#@!!!!!Though with Bertuzzi in ANA Penner might have been dropped off of the 2nd line anyways... Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 This is not surprising at all. I'm betting Scott Niedermayer's decision to retire is finally made public and the Ducks match the offer to Penner. Link to post Share on other sites
Fenxis 99 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 ... and the Ducks match the offer to Penner.I haven't seen this kind of mad overspending since the first 30 minutes of the FCHL auction! Link to post Share on other sites

Jason12 0 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 The Ducks have to keep Penner, Getzlaf, and Perry together. Neidermeyer will retire and the Ducks will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 As the proud owner of Dustin Penner in the AHL I am torn on what I like to see happen. Staying with Anaheim will allow him to blossom with the young guys, however going to the Oilers might allow more ice time and a bigger role in their offence.Kevin Lowe is probably pissing a lot of people off , including Brian Burke.Over under on how many times Brian Burke used an expletive in front of Lowe's name today is 12.

nell789 0 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I really think the Ducks should walk. Save that money to spend it better on Getzlaf and Perry. Link to post Share on other sites
Fenxis 99 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Updated 2:46pm PTReports already coming out that Brian Burke and the Ducks will match the offer and retain Dustin Penner. I have not heard this directly so no confirmation yet. More to come later so please check back.Good news for a Penner / Torres owner. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 LOLBurke is pissed!waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Link to post Share on other sites
grocery_mony 9 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I think Lowe got his man. I dont think Burke can match with there cap situation. Sure If Neidermayers salary goes off the books They will be at 45 but they have to think about next off season. And if 42 is really there number there is no chance they can match. I think he messed up big time when he signed Bertuzzi. He hasnt had a season worthy of 4 mill since 02/03. Now he is stuck with a 33 year old power forward who doesnt hit anymore and has a bad back. Burke has been loyal to Bertuzzi to a fault and it already burnt him once. Coming into this off season the Anaheim situation looked so ideal, now its kind of a mess and the West is open again.

7s7c 0 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Coming into this off season the Anaheim situation looked so ideal, now its kind of a mess and the West is open again.Because you either replace Penner with Bertuzzi and everything else stays status quo or Niedermayer retires and you keep the same roster that won the cup with Bertuzzi and Schnieder? I don't know I don't think this decision makes or breaks the Ducks at all. Getzlaf/Perry next year does though. Link to post Share on other sites

If Penner stays, one or both of them is out the door, and IMO they're both stronger players than Penner is. Link to post Share on other sites
