Breaking: Ducks have re-signed C Ryan Getzlaf to an eight-year contract extension through 2020-21 season.

 

Awesome!!!

[Thomas]

Awesome for you guys.

[bucbrett]

Nick Kypreos says it's $66 million over the 8 years.

[nate]

Yep, sounds like 66 over 8.  Not bad at all.

Getzlaf's deal is worth $66 million over eight years.

 

So long, Perry?  Don't see them handing out two big contracts.

[bucbrett]

Yeah that's what they talked about on Sportsnet Hockey Central after the announcement. Perry has to be a pretty happy guy with the market pretty much set for him.

[HaloCory22]

Looks like Perry is gone now. I can't imagine two big contracts like that. Just as Nato said. Getzlaf needs to keep his foot on the gas though. He can't let up.

Bob Murray: “We are very happy to have Ryan committed to this franchise long-term. He has often expressed his interest to stay in (1/2)

Eric Stephens

(cont) Anaheim for his entire career, a goal we share. He is a leader, a proven winner, and possesses a skill set that’s hard to find."(2/2)

Ryan Getzlaf resigns with the Anaheim Ducks for all of the years and most of the money

 

Nice.  One down.  One to go.  I still think they will re-sign Perry, and trade Hiller.  Just my gut feeling.

[xboom28x]

Very happy about this. Of the two, I wanted to keep Getzy... he is much more versatile than Perry. With Palmieri and possibly a short term veteran replacement for Perry next season, the Ducks shouldn't lose a beat going forward without Perry.

 

Now let's go win a Cup!!!

This action I would support fully. No reason for Hiller with Fasth and Gibson on the team.

[xboom28x]

The thing is, I think Corey will test the waters first to see what he can get elsewhere. I don't see him re-signing before the season is over.

[halobob]

Very happy to see that Getzy will be with the Ducks for the next 8 years.  We must move Perry at the deadline now because there is no way we can afford both him and Getzy and we will need the young cheap talent.

[mrwicked]

nice!

you knew this was coming, getz is totally rooted in OC with his wife and little ones.

if perry wants to play closer to family back east, thats fine. hopefully they can sign him, but if not, oh well.

we make a run for the cup this year.

 

getz, ryan, hiller, fowler is a hell of a young core. 

[henry]

Great news. The Ducks has done a great job recently, getting a good coach (IMO) and some good young talent.

[Bruce Nye]

Whoa!!  He has always said he likes it here. 

[HaloCory22]

I'm really looking forward to Palmieri on the top line for years to come with Getzlaf. That's going to be a sick scoring duo. 

[gotbeer]

But if that's the case, then why would any team give up anything much of value for him?  It he is going to test free agency, then he will just be a rental on whatever team trades for him.  I don't think any team will give up huge value for a rental.  

 

Other possibility, we keep Perry, and trade for another piece since we have cap room, and make a real push this season.  This is where Hiller may come into play.  

 

I am not familiar at all with NHL free agent rules.  Do the Ducks get compensation if we lose Perry?  

[Punk]

Woot! Awesome!

That's been my argument all along gotbeer. People think teams will trade a king's ransom for him before the deadline. Fact is, they just won't. 

 

As far as compensation, I don't believe it's like baseball.

[Amazing Larry]

Man this is great news!

[eaterfan]

ESPN did a piece on the top trade chips. They thought Perry would get a 1, a young player, and a good prospect.

[Kenny]

I'm against contracts over 5-6 years, but he's earned it.

[HaloCory22]

How do you feel about Parise and Kuvalchuk's 20 year deals?

[angelduck]

If it comes down to choosing between Perry and Ryan. I pick Perry 10 times out of 10. I'd trade Bobby if it meant freeing up enough cash to lock Perry up for 8 years. Perry is a franchise winger; Bobby is not at this point

I completely agree with this even though I'll have to buy a new Jersey if Bobby is traded.
