does it really matter? The player has no intention on leaving Anahiem and has said so a number of times.
I don't recall any interest from us fans in Nashville. And heck, we're worse than the Ducks, so what would be the point?
Maybe he's looking to kickstart his post retirement country singing career by hitting up the open mike night bars on his off nights?

I think because of the shortened season he could potentially leave to a contender.... but if I had to put it at a percentage I’d say 5% chance

Getzbald still a good player, but is he worth a 1st and a prospect at this stage in his career? I suggest his recent stats say he isnt.

Tbf he is playing with some awful talent around him.
Probably not worth that, but definitely a bit better than what his stats suggest.
Also the system Anaheim deploys isn't helping either.

Nobody on the Ducks is scoring, but Getzlaf can step in as a second line center on a contending team with better wingers and make an impact.

Fear is the mind-killer.
Which contenders would he be a top 2 C?
The top six teams by pts% would all have him 3rd C.
I don't think he gets back as much as Pageau did. Anaheim would have to retain, and at that point, you might get a 1st. Really hard to know what the market will look like this year.

You make it sound like getzlaf as your 3rd c on a cup run is a bad thing(can also play wing on teams that need wings)

lol at people thinking a player like Getzlaf with his playoff pedigree would not get at least a late 1st from a playoff team. some of you people really think you can get any player for a 2nd a c prospect.

because we play past their bed times and since now that we're in a rebuild they just assume everyone on our team has absolutely zero value.

The point is he has the capability of stepping into the role. He is a good 2nd line center at this point in his career. If no contending team needs that role filled then a trade won’t be made.
I also don’t see the point in retaining on trade deadline deals. His cap hit wouldn’t be huge by then as a UFA rental.
Having said all that, he is very unlikely to approach Ducks management asking for a trade. Thus, we are having a pointless discussion to pass the time.

I agree. Not only does he have the leadership and playoff pedigree, he is still a legit top 6 center that can do it all. Should be worth at least a 1st plus a decent prospect

Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
Probably never. He doesn't need to win a cup, he's got an accomplished career already. He even has a valuable presence on the Ducks where he'll mentor the future after he retires. I'd stay there as long as possible if I were him.
But I think they should trade Gibson. To Colorado because if the Avs get him, they're a bonified contender. Plus I don't think Gibson should let his talent go to waste on a team that's not going anywhere for a while.

Do we need a new version of this thread every week? The search function still exists last I checked.
Getzlaf has a NMC and has stated that he has zero desire to leave Anaheim to chase another Cup.

I can only see him moving ala Marleau. When his current contract ends and he plays a season or two on one year deals.

Just to be clear I'm not saying the Ducks should trade him, or that they should expect to get a return like that...
Having said that I think he is worth quite a bit to a team going all in. You show those stats as an argument that he is somehow not worth that return. He has done that on historically bad offensive teams with one of the worst PPs in the league every year.
He is still a 50-60 point guy on the shit Ducks. He forsure could do that on a good team. Not to mention his playoff experience and the fact that he is a monster in the playoffs.
Anyways, it doesn't matter because he has a full NMC and probably has no desire to leave California and his 4 kids behind.

The only comments I've seen directly from Getzlaf didn't leave any door open. His exact words were "zero desire to leave"
