Teemu for 2 years?

PrintAccording to Hockey Insider, sources say "Teemu Selanne discussing 2 year deal with Ducks". If this happens, it will arguably be the biggest deal this offseason.
Now, I know I needn't remind all of you that a little while ago I mentioned Teemu wanted a two year deal. And I don't want to get anyones hopes up because nothing is "official" but I think it's safe to say everyone would be ecstatic to have him back for TWO more years. Here's to hoping we get to see Teemu rack up a bunch of goals at Ponda over the next couple seasons!

yeah but he would delay the process of giving sexton second-line time… same with holland and descahamps and bonino
Sexton can do fine on a third line with Chipchura, and the like….Bonino needs another year, he looked like a deer in headlights a little, Holland and Deschamps? Which do you feel could be a second line winger in the fall?
shows he can still burry the puck no problem
that is great veteran presence with a great shot. easy decision to sign him
Best of all that deal lets him go out with his buddy Saku. I don’t see Saku playing that much longer even though the guy can still bring it night after night. Lets be honest, the guy gave 110% every night last season. Hell he has done that just about every game he has ever played. No wonder the dude beat cancer. Cancer is Saku’s bitch. Teemu can still find the back of the net and when you look at him skate he hasn’t lost that big of a step. He is still a top player in the game.
I’m not the smartest guy in the world. I don’t read books or know how "getting pregnant" works. I can’t promise nights filled with intellectual conversation, but if we’re walking past a chain-link fence, you can rest assured that I’m going to try and chew a hole through it.

Although I don’t understand the reasoning behind it, I wouldn’t argue against a 2 year deal.
We need more Boyntons.
if he retires after the first year, they just add the second year’s price artificially to the cap. We don’t actually have to pay it to him.

Murray says “no legs at all” to reports of a two-year deal discussion

Ya, he also said they would have no activity on the first day of free agency.
There's nothing to see here. And nothing gazes back at me.
and he backed that up when he said that he was going to let everyone get signed until he realized ‘where the numbers were going’ He was honest about his incompetence; don’t know why he’d be dishonest about this

He’s gotta be some fuckin idiot to not know ‘where the numbers were going’. Isn’t that part of his job? To anticipate what’s going to happen and, if necessary, act?
Now I’m not saying he’s lying about Teemu, I’m just saying he’s been wrong before.
There's nothing to see here. And nothing gazes back at me.
yeah, he’s been wrong, but here he’s saying that they didn’t discuss a two-year deal. So, if you’re saying he’s “wrong” he’d have to be lying, as it’s something that’s already happened or not happened, not something he’s anticipating.

The only thing I’ve been hearing is that Teemu WANTS a two year deal. Whether he’s been discussing that with Murray or not is unconfirmed, but if Murray says they haven’t then we’re all left to assume they haven’t. That said, I would laugh my ass off if tomorrow they announce he’s signed a two year deal
There's nothing to see here. And nothing gazes back at me.
yeah, i was speaking as to what murray’s saying about the tweet for this particular fanpost, not on what you’ve heard. He’s particularly called out this tweet as having no legs. He doesn’t deny they would sign him to a two year deal, just says that this rumor that that’s what they’ve been discussing has no legs at all.

I should have put a period. I meant if Koivu sucks balls or gets hurt or if we wanna dump him oshie and berglund are FAs…
Saku wont be let go no matter how much he might (but most likely wont) “suck balls.” The guy gives 110% at at times last year seemed to be the only guy giving a fuck. The guy just does not quit. Also like I said above, Cancer is Saku’s bitch. You really want to give walking papers to a guy like that? I’d rathers fight Chuck Norris.

I’m on board to have Teemu next year, but I think this is the time when he should not only score as much as he can, but also mentor some of the young bucks that we have on team. I hate to reference another sport, but remember when Kareem Abdul Jabar retired and every place he went the other team would give him something and salute him for his contributions to the game. THAT is what Teemu should get this year. I huge send off by all teams thanking him for all that he has accomplished.
He really was the prototype winger wing speed and skills. Damn when you watch his rookie year you swear you are watching NHL 10 set on easy. The guy just knew how to make people look really bad. I like to think (although its not true) that the butterfly was invented to keep the Fin from scoring so damn much. He does deserve a going away tribute in kind of the fashion the baseball’s Cal Ripken Jr. did. That guy saved baseball after the lockout. Teemu has done more for the game of hockey then I think he knows or will ever admit to.
