The Anaheim Ducks are going to play some risky business next week as they are letting their captain and Ducks legend Ryan Getzlaf test the open market. Quite the turn of events after we shared the report from earlier this week that surfaced suggesting the deal was basically done.
This is either a brilliant negotiating strategy devised by his close friend Shane O'Brien, or the Ducks and Getzlaf aren't really that close. The two have previously stated that they want to continue their marriage because 'Getzy' has family ties and roots in California.
Could we finally see the veteran centre in a different uniform after 15 years with the Ducks? If Getzlaf becomes available, there will be a long list of teams that could use him in a variety of roles. Contract offers will be diverse, and it will be fascinating to observe. Expect to hear more about Getzlaf once free agency begins on Wednesday at noon.
