You’re right... they do. That center depth would be good though.

Getzlaf has said that he plans on retiring a Duck
His NTC gives him that choice.

I quite agree - He got 1 year left on his contract tho. Don't think ANA re-signs him :/

I think he'd just ride off into the sunset. Maybe he'd sign a cheap 1 year deal with the Ducks. But he's been saying he'll retire as a Duck for years. I take him at his word.

no.
younger and faster.
no interest in old slow guys.

You're right . . . we wouldn't do this. For one thing, we've already paid the Captain's $3 million signing bonus this year, and he's only owed $3 million more. So unless we'd be retaining the $3 million we've already paid him, and the second-round draft pick would be in 2021, we'll say No thanks.

Pens window close in my opinion. I’d start stacking young and faster players. Getzlaf won’t waive and Ducks would want more for their captain.

penguins have no interest in moving poulin or draft picks.
You're best argument here is they are dumping cap space. But frankly, that has yet to be seen.
A lot of people think Matheson can turn it around here. If he does he becomes a tradable asset.
