Will be back...

Hello everyone, haven't posted here in quite some time now. Thought I'd just assure you that I will be back doing the game previews and all that stuff when the season starts. The plan is to write again when training camp starts in about a month.

I have spent the summer working on other websites as well as doing some videos. Perhaps my best one, was up on Anaheim Calling yesterday due to the recent Paul Kariya rumours. For those not familiar with his site, check it out.

For more of my videos - visit my youtubechannel here.

Scott Niedermayer to retire

Since I'm late here I'm just gonna link to the article on the OC Register here.

SvenskaFans.com is where my main focus needs to be. So while I'm writing news there I tend to be late here.

Anyways, it's a sad sad day in Anaheim and around the league that's for sure.

Still waiting...

A couple of transitions got messed up in this one. But still, we all love Teemu.

While we're waiting...

...for the draft and July 1st. Let's take a look at what we as Ducks fans can look forward to next season.



I'll post the other couple of videos I promised later. I'm saving the best for last.

Ducks re-sign Chipchura

Center Kyle Chipchura has been re-signed.

According to capgeek.com, he has agreed to a one year deal with the Ducks for $0.65 million. He's set to become a restricted free agent again next summer.

Chipchura, 24, was aquired from the Montreal Canadiens early last season for a fourth round pick. He had 12 points (6+6) in 55 games with the Ducks, mainly playing the role as a shutdown center on the third line.

Short notes...

...The latest rumours has Teemu Selanne coming back for another year. It all depends on what direction the Ducks are going, contending or re-building?

...Saku Koivu is likely to stay if Selanne comes back or if the teams stays competitive.

...Scott Niedermayer could be less likely to come back. But these aren't from any legit sources, so take it for what it's worth.

Rumour: Mark Streit to Anaheim

According to Slapshot.ch, a Swizz hockey site, Islanders defenseman Mark Streit could become a Duck.

Ducks re-sign Brookbank

Defenseman Sheldon Brookbank has agreed to a new two year contract with the Anaheim Ducks. The new deal will give a total of $1.5 million, which means a cap hit of $0,750,000 per year. Brookbank was very solid all year. Most Ducks fans will agree that this is a very good signing by GM Bob Murray.

Comments from Brookbank here.

Silly season

Not a lot of rumours floating around at the moment. But I expect that to explode when the Stanley Cup finals are over.

Up running again + videos

Hi everyone. Sorry for not leaving a message about taking some time off. This past month I've joined the staff on Eliteprospects/football. Meanwhile, school is in on it's last week before the summer holiday so there's been a lot going on there. I've also made a comeback in soccer (here I am) so I've been quite busy.

Post #100

I know I haven't written much lately. I've had a tough week to say the least now with a stomach illness and yesterday my car caught fire.

At this point in the offseason, nothing is really happening. So I'll will show some good Ducks youtube videos on here for the next month or so. Also, did you check out the survey on the Ducks official website? If you're a die hard fan, you really should. It might get us more news around the team and more comments from the GM and the players. Unless you vote for the official website to put effort into other things you feel are more important.

Video of today, created by jlaxhockey, he has a lot of great videos in high definition:

Budget issues for next season

Bob Murray, the Ducks General Manager, might have some problems approaching him this summer. We know from recent years that the club isn't willing to spend up to the cap, there's an internal budget that Murray has to take into consideration when building his team.
