As long as the money's right I'm stoked by this move.

TSNFree agent centre Brendan Morrison is off the free agent list, as the B.C. native is set to join the Anaheim Ducks.

Exxxxxxxxcellent.

Now we just need to find out what the price is.

[jiggsawpuzzle35rules]

hopefully less than 2 million.

Once Eklund made it E3 that he'd join the Kings....was there any doubt?

[QuackHead]

oh snap!

what the...........? haha


LOUD NOISES!

[QuacksMeUp]

And hope nothing more tears on the guy this coming season!

[QuacksMeUp]

I hear Burke and Nonis singing "Reunited, and it feels so gooooood!" softly in the background. I will reserve judgment. (No, really...I will!)

I hope it tears it up!

[QuacksMeUp]

I hope it tears it up!

He's not an "it", he's a hockey player!

[jiggsawpuzzle35rules]

Dont know if he is gonna solve our offensive needs though. Maybe Schnieder will land us a winger who can score.

No, "it" being the NHL.

[QuackHead]

Morrison is pretty banged up. I really hope he fills the 2nd line center void, but again it seems like we keep picking up these coin toss guys.

from video I've watched of him, he's alot like AndyMac. who knows......maybe he'll tear it up.

[Sojourn]

Er, crap... I did say "I hope it tears it up" didn't I? oops... my bad.

[QuacksMeUp]

We like reclamation projects here in Anaheim. Especially old friends from Vancouver. Too bad Andy didn't fit either of those categories. He was only fast and good.

[Marshy]

good pick up by the Ducks but I cant help but feel that we are getting Vancouver Reunion over here... The injury field lays a big question mark on him but we will see what time has in store for him. Great passer, fast, but not physical. A lot like Andy Mac indeed!

[DuckNewbie]

Assume this means that Burke is pretty confident about getting a trade done.....(Schneider or something else). It's not a time to be taking on salary if we can't drain some too!

I like Morrison's past numbers...(last year not included). Hopefully we have good reason to believe he's healed and healthy!

Dont know if he is gonna solve our offensive needs though. Maybe Schnieder will land us a winger who can score.

He's a second line centre who has put up at least 50 points a year in every full season he has played in, thats how he will help solve our offensive needs. Even last year before his injury he was on pace for over 50 points. All we need is Selanne to come back and Schneider to be traded and we're set.

Wow! Thanks. I went back to read it again and your first correction made even less sense!

I think Morrison can fill some hole or other, I just hoped for something a little fresher and less road worn.

I don't really think of Morrison as a reclamation project. Every player gets injured at times. Bertuzzi was a little different. He had to overcome something different.

Morrison is still rehabbing after undergoing knee surgery on April 7 to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament. It is Morrison's fourth surgery in the past two years. Over the past week, Morrison has turned down offers from nine teams including the Minnesota Wild, Columbus Blue Jackets and Los Angeles Kings.

Last week, Morrison turned down a one-year, $1.9 million offer from the Vancouver Canucks, the team he has spent the past eight seasons with. It appeared that the Canucks were hoping Morrison would be their 'fall-back' position if they are unable to sign Mats Sundin. He wasn't prepared to wait.

[JUStheDUCKS]

so far i LOVE this signing i was hoping the rumor were correct.
as long as its under 2.5 million a season under 3 years.
2 years 3.5-4.5 million would be ideal.
looks like this will be the 1st step in a trade

[Sojourn]

From TSN

No, I know all that. Keep in mind that Andy Mac had terrible concussion problems with Anaheim when we had him and he overcame them. The word is that Morrison is not going to start the season immediately to give the ACL a chance to heal. He also played 82 games the previous two seasons before the last one.

[paul4587]

From TSN

Wow I didn't realise he's had four surgeries in the last 2 years. Before last year he had played in all 82 regular season games 6 years in a row, so I assumed last years injuries would't be a problem.
