Confirmed with Link: Ducks re-sign Ryan Getzlaf (1 year, $3M, +$1.5M GP bonus)

[Static]

Alright, we will take it. Damn, Getz still scored some coin.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Good for him, he's earned it.

 

[GermanRocket7]

SOB says now confirmed. $4.5m

Well thank God if true.

 

[ADHB]

Not that we need the cap space, but wow that’s a lot given how little some other guys in his position generally make.

Glad he’s back though. Would have been painful to see him in another jersey.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Finally.

 

[Kariya 9]

That’s thank you for your services money. I have no problem giving it to him.

 

[terranraida]

thank christ. finally. i can stop power slamming f5

 

[The Duck Knight]

Hopefully for Getz' sake it came with the promise of picking his own destination at the deadline regardless of the return.

 

[Duck Off]

i mean it's a bit more than he deserves, play wise, but we have the cap space, the money; ffs look at what Washington did for Ovi. Yes i know he's a much better player, but there's no question that contract is somewhat ridiculous. Either way, i'm thrilled about this. Probably more than i should be, but maybe that's the little kid in me who watched Teemu wear another sweater and it made me numb inside.

 

[ShadowDuck]

1 mil more than I predicted. PUMPED for Getz!

 

[bsu]

Nice.

 

[405Entrance]

Money doesn’t even matter to me tbh. Just gotta resign lindholm and bring back perry for getz’s potential last ride

 

[Kalv]

Will we get a fake news hat-trick on Getz signing?

 

[Paul4587]

Good news. I’m not sure I could have taken it if by far my two favorite players in the league were Edmonton Oilers.

 

[Leonardo87]

SOB says now confirmed. $4.5m

S.O.B stands for something else I’m thinking after this whole ordeal.

 

[duckpuck]

Phew. Best news of the day.


Big money but I'm more than fine with it, Getz has earned it

Overpayment but the ducks can afford it. I was more concerned with the term and 1 year is great for both sides.

In terms of whether Getz has earned it - I see both sides. He was overpaid the last 2-3 years of his deal and he's not a $4.5M player in the current market. But he probably does help drive interest in the team and is a good mentor for the most part.

 

[DuckTech]

I won't believe it till I see the Getzlaf version of the Teemu golfing or paperwork video!

 

[terranraida]

[McDonald19]

Meh. Maybe an overpayment, but for one year it’s fine.

Will we get a fake news hat-trick on Getz signing?

It's still not posted on CF . . .

 

[Arthuros]

Ah god, someone legit confirm this signing, please, so I can get off HF for the day.

 

[Terry Yake]

totally fine with the 4.5 mil number. it's not like they've got anyone else to pay this season

 

[Crazy8oooo]

Don't understand why everyone's so happy about this signing. Murray did right by him in never asking him to waive his clause for a deadline trade, but Getz insists on making more than he should and threatens to leave Anaheim to test the market?! Seems like a dick move if you ask me. Seems his loyalty went out the window.
