He's been a Mighty Duck all of his life. Why change that now? that's how you get bodies in seats, you keep players around.

Burke already said no to a 3+ year deal. Salei already said no to a 1 year deal. So, what're we debating? Burke won't give him what he wants, and that's for sure.

Rusty has to compromise because I don't see Burke budging. With several D-men in the system and several decent guys up for free agency, I don't see Rusty as having the upper hand.

sad.gif I hope Salei get's smart and signs for what he can get, but then, money is money and if he can get more out there, he just may go for it. Soon he will be too old to play and needs to squirrel away some money for his old age. rolleyes.gif

Old topic, I know. But I want to add my input really quick.

I pick sign a one-year deal. Only reason, is because yeah, he's been a duck all his life, blah blah...
But he doesn't make as many mistakes as he used to. I remember at the beginning of the year, I just shook my head everytime he was on the ice. Now, it's not that case anymore. He's gotten used to the rules, and has gotten MUCH better. He's a hard defender to play against now. He also tied in scoring the most goals for a defensemen in the playoffs with 3 goals (tied with Beauch). I like this guy, with his +10 rating in the playoffs. I like this guy anyway, great character, as most of you know.

I wonder if Burke would sign him a two year deal.

And if you're using too many useless penatlies as an excuse as to why we should trade him, then Joffrey Lupul REALLY needs to go.

Exactly. I'm just wondering those people that don't want him at all. Why?
