It’s fine it’s a 1 year deal and the man took almost a 50% pay cut, he already has a cup ring made his life changing money, why not stay home?

A completely underwhelming day... another we don't want or really care to win next year approach...

Agree Ben, it's kinda pricey. But, since the Ducks aren't bringing in anyone else of consequence, who cares? I'm a little surprised he didn't go to Dallas, if that rumor was true. Dallas actually improved their team.

Rebuilding sucks, but it’s a necessary evil we must all endure at some point or another. This upcoming draft has some franchise level players.

He would have made a difference on Dallas and maybe chase another Cup? He’s just going through the motions staying in Anaheim.

Do you not understand the definition of a REBUILD? The worst thing a team can do is overpay for an older player through UFA signings. If you're a Cup contender, then yes, jump in and go for it. Otherwise, you build through drafting and trades. We have the rest of the summer to make trades. Relax.

Don't like the move. Does he not want to be on a winning team because he loves SoCal? Surely he could be more useful on a contender, albeit for a lower salary. I'm sure his bank account is more than stuffed, so you'd think he want his remaining years to be with a winning franchise. Best of luck to him, though his retention doesn't help the Ducks get out of the basement.

Getz and JG specifically have said they don't want to be part of a rebuild or whatever you want to call it... Soooo ... BM just straight lied to both ?
Hamilton would've made this team instantly a lot better and shown both that Murray was more than talk...

Now maybe something more is coming down the pike.. I'm willing to wait a while on it.
