bleuer 07-07-2009, 03:31 PM 2 years, 2.25M...really nice!!!
The Ducks and veteran center Todd Marchant, an unrestricted free agent, have agreed to terms on a two-year contract that the club is expected to announce shortly.
Marchant, set to turn 36 next month, will receive $1 million this season and $1.25 million in 2010-11. He had previously earned an average of just more than $2.5 million annually as part of a long-term contract he signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2003, but accepted less money in exchange for a multi-year deal and the opportunity to remain with the Ducks.
Hovercraft 07-07-2009, 03:32 PM Very good money. Hopefully you guys can keep Rob N aswell
Finnpin 07-07-2009, 03:33 PM If true thatīs excellent news and even more excellent deal! :handclap:
MOENing 07-07-2009, 03:34 PM Very good money. Hopefully you guys can keep Rob N aswell
If we can get Rob Niedermayer to sign with the same deal I'd be thrilled.
Talentless Practise 07-07-2009, 03:34 PM Wow, great terms. I said previously it seems Murph is really gunning for bargain contracts and it seems he gets them done, too. Fabulous job!
Doothpick 07-07-2009, 03:57 PM For a while there i thought that Marchant was gone when it took this much time. Real good to see him in the line up next year, and very good job by Murray to get him sign so cheap.
If we can get Rob Niedermayer to sign with the same deal I'd be thrilled.
Don't know about that, i wouldn't be overly excited to watch Rob two more years. But 1y and this price, that would be great :)
Go_Krog 07-07-2009, 04:06 PM Murray mustve REALLY been lowballing him if it took this long for Marchant just to get this deal. love the deal, Marchant is a great guy and a great bottom 6 center. could even throw a scoring winger with him once in awhile to change things up when the top 6 is struggling.
Jerky Leclerc 07-07-2009, 04:24 PM Excellent deal to retain some leadership on our bottom 6.
ericnut 07-07-2009, 04:35 PM Very good money. Hopefully you guys can keep Rob N aswell
No thanks.

No thanks. League minimum... maybe, but no thanks to a million+.
ktulu98 07-07-2009, 04:44 PM i would rather have pj axelsson than robie nieds
Dirk316 07-07-2009, 05:13 PM Good deal, would rather he play on the 4th line to preserve him a little for the 2nd half/and hopefully playoffs and Carter step in on 3rd line.
Lets hope Moen is next so he can get that size/toughness on the checking line again
Jimgrayson 07-07-2009, 05:15 PM Second line C sorted :sarcasm:
I really like this signing though, a couple more years of Marchant around the locker room is a really good thing imo
Twindad 07-07-2009, 05:44 PM Very good for us as he can skate and hit for a small body.
bumperkisser 07-07-2009, 05:54 PM Its good that murray is really trying to get cheap contracts but its cost us as well.. ie beauch
Ducks 07-07-2009, 06:22 PM Its good that murray is really trying to get cheap contracts but its cost us as well.. ie beauch
If Beauchemin really wanted to be here, he'd be here.
Spankatola Jamnuts 07-07-2009, 06:40 PM Great deal. Glad to have him back, and no regrets at that price.
Paul4587 07-07-2009, 06:43 PM Good deal, will be good to have him on our third line again next year.
justheducks 07-07-2009, 06:56 PM If we can get Rob Niedermayer to sign with the same deal I'd be thrilled.
No thanks we don't want any special Nieds!
McDonald19 07-07-2009, 07:43 PM Good job Murray!
Ryan-Getzlaf-Perry
Lupul-Ebbet-Selanne
Carter-Marchant-Christensen
Brown-UFA-Parros
Bodie
Now sign Nichol to center the 4th line...or Malhotra or Moen for third line and Christensen can center the 4th line.
edit: I forgot Nokia and Miller. With Bodie in the AHL that gives us 13 forwards already without signing another UFA.

Put Nokia on the 3rd and move Christensen to the 4th to center Parros and Brown, not too bad I guess.
bumperkisser 07-07-2009, 08:52 PM Nieds - ?(Hopefully Wiz but who knows)
Whitney - Brookbank/Sbisa
Sbisa/Brookbank - Salcido/Fest/Mikkelson
That looks like a pretty awful defence.. especially when you compare it to
Nieds - Wiz
Whitney - Prongs
Beauch - Brookbank

I don't blame you for not listing the defense, I don't like looking at our current one either.
Anyway this is a great signing, but if we let Beauchemin go and don't resign a better option at 2nd line center or a top 4 defensmen, then that's pathetic.
