Silfverberg signed to a 4 year deal worth 3.75 aav.  I like it

[gotbeer]

Nice.  Would have liked 6 years.  But 4 will do for now.  

 

Ducks Sign Silfverberg to Four-Year Contract Edited August 7, 2015 by gotbeer

Another Silfverberg contract that you look at and wonder why he wasn't able to get more than that.

[Oz27]

Seems like a good deal for is. He's surely going to be looking at a hell of a payday in four years though.

Perhaps thats why it took so long, the Ducks are making very low ball offers at their RFAs & end up signing them for what is still a bargain.

He wasn't awesome until the playoffs.

Hard to cash in on just a two month span.

I would have loved $4m for 6 but no way his agent agrees to that.

3.75m for 4 is perfect for now.

Hall of Fame debate: Paul Kariya

 

I hope he gets in.  

 

 

Tough one.

He doesn't even have his number in our rafters - dunno if they ever will (but it wouldn't surprise me if they do).

Not sure about HOF.

He was awesome though.

5 Free Agents the Anaheim Ducks Should Still Consider Signing

 

Dumb article. We don't need any of those guys.

If Cam Neely's in the Hall, Kariya should be too. Kariya doesn't have the 1000 point mark next to his name, but he was arguably the 2nd best winger in the world (after Jagr) for a good 5 years. He should be in the Hall.

Well, you have to remember.  He wasn't going to be an UFA.  He was going to be a RFA.  So his options were still limited.  For one thing, the Ducks are not afraid to let a team overbid, and take their picks.  

 

So the amount if probably a good midway point to bridge him to UFA, instead of going through the RFA stuff.

Interesting comments in this thread.  I thought it was a good deal for him.  He isn't a premium scorer.  He is a good two way winger that helps on the PP.  With the new OT format he will get fewer chances on the shootout.

 

Anyway I am still fine with it.  The Kesler/Silf combo will exist for a long time.

[deepdrive]

Your both right. It's a good contract this year for a RFA who hasn't scored a lot. But he's 24 and has shown good progression and isn't he a Ufa next year (2nd year of contract). I would have thought he's likely to be worth 4.5+ the third and 4th year, even with a RFA multi year contract. I think the likely lower range of what he'll be worth the next 4 years is 16-17M.

Very true. But when we do get a shootout he will no doubt be the reason they may win most of the shootouts they end up in.

With less shootouts I think he will have a higher % in shootouts & also since goalies will be tested less often in shootouts & anticipating a 3 on 3 OT.

[Tank]

if Kariya had scored 11 more points, this wouldn't even be up for discussion. the career-ending injuries were not of his own doing.

 

put him in the hall already.

Ducks announced a new third jersey this season.  They are being real hush hush about it.  Will be revealed October 16th.  

 

Ducks to reveal new 3rd jersey in October

Will they go back to the original shield?  

[TeemuTrout]

I think they will. The wildwing mask would sell like hotcakes.

[HaloCory22]

Here is the new 3rd jersey! Glad its orange at least. 

[nate]

I like it

[HaloCory22]

Its growing on me the more I look at it.

[gotbeer]

That should be our second jersey.  

[mrwicked]

holy sh*t is that actually it?

that's awesome!

that's exactly what people were hoping they would do: orange and the old shield.

 

pretty sweet.

So happy I didn't get a new jersey last season!  I will definitely be buying this one!

[Punk]

Is that for real?

 

I don't know why the Ducks haven't gone back to that logo. They would sell a bunch of jerseys. People that aren't even Ducks fans would buy,

Yeah it's pretty crazy, that logo is often referred to as one of the best sports logos of all time (I think that's a stretch personally).

Even though it's clearly cartoonish, everyone loved those original sweaters.

I'm stoked they are bringing it back for the 3rd jersey.
