Perry out long term

[Terry Yake]

he's pretty much done

33 years old, already slow as hell, and now going to have major knee surgery

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

This is very unfortunate, Ducks have my sympathies for sure.
Given they have a roster spot to fill, odds they take Ryan back for Silfverberg +?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Bad year ahead for the Ducks...

Perry bein out might be a blessing

 

[jetsforever]

That's too bad, hopefully he can return this year

No. Perry and Kes will return with their 15M cap hit

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Perry's loss is likely Terry's gain

 

[Dirty Dog]

Your response led me to believe it was partially torn and they knew.

Waiting for it to pop fully when you have 4 months off is confusing.

It was clearly not "will it need surgery" rather "when will it need surgery".

No it was not clearly that. I think that’s where the confusion is coming from

 

[Captain Controversy]

Cap space for ducks.
Oilers can capitalize and make the playoffs with the ducks potentially falling out of playoffs.

Why do the Ducks have to add to get Ryan?

Insurance on these contracts don't cover 100% but he goes on LTIR, and the team gets a off set for that contract. If he had surgery at the end of last year for a suspect knee, he may have been able to have come back in November and it is not known what his play could be. So they probably thought if he could play with it, that is the hope. Now he may not recover the physical level needed to play. LTIR and Aflack cash is not the worst situation.

You want Ritchie and noesen with that? …. I feel like ott would have to pay to get us to take ryan.


Id talk Silf+ if the player you were talking about was duechene/stone

 

[DL44]

Ducks still have $6mil in cap space. I don't think Perry will need to go on LTIR since I don't think the Ducks will be scrambling spend $6mil++ on a replacement anytime soon.

They can easily fit Goldobin's salary..

Why is that?

Always sucks when a good player goes down long term, even if it is a rival.

Hes not a good player any more... hes an anchor majority of the game and occasionally ends up on the score sheet mostly due to the fact he plays with 2 really good players most of the time.

Also means we will get a better look at someone like Terry or Comtois

 

[Mickey Marner]

Well, he had a great career even if the ending ain't so hot.

Plus he looks like an armpit.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Don't Ducks operate on an internal cap? Or is that old news?

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Will benefit Anaheim tremendously.

 

[karnige]

so he was battling these injuries and decided to see how the season would progress? would have made more sense to go under the knife 2 months ago

Um I think its kinda old news until, at least until kesler/getzlaf/ and perry are off books.

 

[jasonleaffan]

I predict this thread will be very level headed and sane.

Ha! That's an easy prediction, HF is filled with mostly Canadians, we're all very polite and courteous.

 

[Brock Radunske]

Huh, I thought he was on the IR for at least 1+ seasons so far...

 

[heynowbababooey]

so he was battling these injuries and decided to see how the season would progress? would have made more sense to go under the knife 2 months ago

Noooo.

 

[SENSARMY18]

This will be difficult for the Ducks.
