Guest wingswillwincup Report post Posted November 20, 2007 its good for the ducks to have him locked up ..... but 5.5 million a year for him ? i dont know seems like a bit too much , maybe seeing what penner got is what made him get all that money , now perry is gonna demand 4-5 million per year as well , i think we should take a chance and sign up filppula longterm before he starts to break out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elshupacabra 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 I didn't think that they would be signing anbody else until Niedermayer comes back. You know, because of that whole...salary cap thing, that apperntly the Ducks dont have to deal with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grittzkey 1 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) Smart. Getzlaf is a great young talent. Ducks are my 2nd favorite team, and i think they learned from there penner situation, and decided on locking up Getz. Big mistake was signing Tuzzi to his big contract and loosing Penner. they wouda saved money on Penner compared to Tuzzi and gotten a beter player in return.

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 Burke overpaid. You feel that way because........? If he were an UFA this summer, teams would be offering him a lot more than $5.3 million. I know that is not the scenario he is in, but signing for 5 years takes him past his first year in which he would have been eligible for UFA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 Good deal for him. Not a spectacular deal, but still no doubt a good deal for him. Hell be worth that 5.3 next season, if he isnt worth it already.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 That's a steal for the Ducks. This kids going to be a dominant power forward in a couple of seasons. Boy, the Rangers must be kicking themselves for picking Hugh Jessiman instead of Getzlaf. What a bust Jessiman has become. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingnut40 176 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 getzlaf. More like getslaped. I remember one lovely October 3rd when he had a breakaway and Hank perfectly got all up in his grill without doing anything to draw a penalty. Getzlaf was pissed and said to a near by ref "That's a f**king penalty shot!"...No Getslaped, it wasn't . No penalty shot for you. You're 20 something and balding, so quiet yourself.

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 Getzlaf is the Ducks best forward, at 5.5, it's a very fair price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that is not the scenario he is in, but signing for 5 years takes him past his first year in which he would have been eligible for UFA. doesnt change the fact that he did over pay the guy , i like getzlaf but 5.5 million a year ?? hes a point a game player so far, thats way too much if you ask me , he over paid cause penner got all that money so im sure his agent told burke if penner gets 4 milliona year then i should be worth more , burkes mistake was waiting to long not sign penner to maybe a 2.75 mill a year deal , getzlaf would of probably be getting 4 million a year the good thing about burke fu*king up is that the got a good chance at the 1st overall pick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, point per game players are worth a lot. Ryan Smyth signed for $6 million +, he' snot a point per game player. Datsyuk is making $6.7 million and he's pretty much a point per game player currently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
