I think Bryan Murray was the one who had the contract issues with Paul, wasn't it?
yeah it was Murray at the helm then.

Great interview with Teemu. And for those who blamed him for Kariya leaving the Ducks, he makes it quite clear how that situation evolved.
He wasn't real good making toast either...The Conversation: Discussing sports culture of hazing & abuse - Sportsnet.ca
Bieksa is in this talking about hazing and abuse in the sport. He brings up coaches who aren't very smart ending up being more vocally abusive. Have to think Randy would be one of those coaches who would verbally insult players because he sure as **** wasn't a smart hockey coach.
if i remember correctly, the ducks would've had to offer 10 mil to PK as his qualifying offerI will still never forget the day reading the ESPN bottom line and seeing Kariya and Selanne sign in Colorado for those 1-year deals.
I’ll never understand the backstory of the deal that fell apart. From what I piece together is: Murray ‘promised’ Kariya a contract, Kariya balked at the low-ball offer, and jumped ship when they couldn’t negotiate.
I understand it was a different era in the 90s but I’m surprised that Disney (when they did own them) never made the Ducks competitive with a large budget. It was basically Kariya-Rucchin-Selanne with little support cast around them.
No..Cogs has 4 points in 27 games, all assists. 27 games without a goal.
If Dallas buys him out after the season, would you want the Ducks to sign him to a 1 year salary min deal ?

Just what the ducks need, a 34 year old player who can’t scoreCogs has 4 points in 27 games, all assists. 27 games without a goal.

but but but he's elite defensively !Lmao, no.
the cogliano trade has been one of murray's few bright spots the last 3-4 years
shore should be in the lineup more often
He just scored in his first game as a PenguinStefan Noesen, who has 12 goals in 19 games on an AHL deal for the Penguins' affiliate, has signed a 1 year, 2 way NHL contract for the remainder of this season. Congrats to him, he's had to fight through a lot to get to where he is today.

Another tidbit: Kariya called Selanne with his plan to go to Colorado and told Selanne if it didn't work out with Colorado, their plan B would be Detroit. Kariya definitely had no intentions of re-signing with Anaheim.
Source? The whole Kariya 2003 summer saga could be a movie/doc all on it's own.
I'm surprised they didn't go to Detroit first. They had the Euro talent and fire-power that year.
I wonder how different the perceptions of both players would be if they went to Detroit and hung around there. That’s not an alternate reality I want to think about thoughSource? The whole Kariya 2003 summer saga could be a movie/doc all on it's own.

Yeah, a lot of people forget his little speech where he said that and led fans to think he was coming back.also worth noting is kariya saying "same place, different result" at the fan celebration after the '03 cup run
made it even worse for a lot of us
Good question. How soon was Babcock actually gone relative to the July 1 signings?I wonder how much of an influence Babcock had on that situation.
I don't remember, but if his plan b after Colorado was Detroit, perhaps that's why he didn't sign there after his stint with the Avs.Good question. How soon was Babcock actually gone relative to the July 1 signings?
[...] A little later more came out about what happened and there was an interview with Murray and he said, he was pretty stunned about what happened because he went to Kariya after the Mighty Ducks lost to the Devils in the SCF and he told Kariya that he wanted to make the team better and add scoring, and one of the things he wanted to do was to try to sign Selanne. But, in order to afford both Kariya and Selanne, he needed Kariya to sign for less than his $10M qualifying amount (I thought Murray was thinking around $7M), and according to Murray, Kariya said something like, "I understand. I understand." [...]
