Decent signing for him, good deal for them.

Thoughts

Anyone sense Burke sending a message to Penner in that,

"Chris has been a very important multi-dimensional player for us the last two seasons, providing skill, physical play and leadership," Ducks general manager Brian Burke said in a statement on Monday. "We are very pleased to have him signed prior to his eligibility as an unrestricted free agent next summer."

Penner gone, now Kunitz.

Where are the Kenny-bashing threads? Where is the "Pull a Lowe, Kenny!" panic threads? Where are the "Oh great, the Ducks have won the Cup already" threads?

With the news of Niedermayer possibly NOT retiring, I'm surprised that Burke is still throwing around money.

Kunitz contract doesn't kick in until after next season. It was a contract extension. I think to prevent what happened with Lowe this year.

Things are going to get really exciting in the upcoming summers. People will see how Lowe got Penner and want to do the same with this years Dustin Penner.

Lets say for some reason Kopecky has an absolutely tremendous year, compared to expectations, and puts up 25g and 30 assists, and he is scheduled to be a RFA (Not sure that he is this is an exercise) a lot of GM's out there would be looking to scoop him up. Some one would pay him, either Det would have to lock him up early or risk a guy like Lowe coming in and overpaying for him.
