For one,...Yeah, I'm not selling it right, I guess. For one, though, I think I'm a lot less concerned about Burke's future than most Duck fans, and I also see the Perry thing as a probably-has-a-solution-already issue.<BR/><BR/>My main things are really about Scott and what to do if he does or does not come back. Teemu, too, but that takes less reaction.<BR/><BR/>I guess I'm just saying, the time to get excited by an offseason for Ducks fans is next summer, not this one. Right now so much money is tied up that there's not that many decisions to be made. We're just seeing the fallout from decisions made from prior years.<BR/><BR/>Next summer, though, it's the expiration of Burke & Carlyle's contract, and the only players signed to 2009-10 are: Giguere, Pronger, Kunitz, Getzlaf, Ryan, and Carter. That's going to be an exciting roster to fill.<BR/><BR/>And my Sharks comment--well, they still have a lot to decide this summer, not only a coach but how and why they fit in Brian Campbell in their long-term picture.Earl Sleekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843720035500316419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-46065401130778850142008-06-06T14:42:00.000-07:002008-06-06T14:42:00.000-07:00YES!!!
