Carney sticks around

The Ducks picked up his option for the next two seasons at 3 million per. I can't link to it because, well, I just can't. But pick up the LA Times, you'll see it.

Good news to hear! :handclap: :handclap:

Mighty Duck General Manager Bryan Murray said he would pick up the two-year option on defenseman Keith Carney after Walt Disney Co. officials approved the team's 2004-05 budget.

The deal will pay Carney nearly $6 million over the next two seasons.

The Ducks also picked up a two-year option on radio play-by-play announcer Steve Carroll.

What a big mistake. Carney has never meant as much to our defense as past great Ducks defensemen like Dave Karpa or Pavel Trnka.

Hopefully Carney returns to 02/03 form for next year.

Good job Murray...now sign Tim Brent, Brian Lee, and Francois Caron by the June 1st deadline for 2002 draft picks!!!

Which reminds me, I wonder what the budget is. I wonder how they can know before the new CBA.

This is good news. Plus they picked up the option on Steve Carroll. :banana: Wish he was the TV play by play guy.

:handclap: Here, here! Defiantely good news and shows confidence in Carney. It dispels that notion he was to be traded around trade deadline. Also, $3 mil for a #1 d-man. That's a very good signing. = )

I imagine it will be significantly lower than this season...If it's not i hope we don't have to get used to a highly paid mediocre team.

Carney is the top vetran dman, but I don't really think he's the #1. He is an ideal #2. The Ducks need Pronger. :banana:

Carney is definitely not a #1 dman... but hes a good consistent, vocal leader that ducks really lack.

Finding a Pronger like player is impossible, we missed the chance to get Hatcher... I dont know anyone this yr that is even close...

I think the overall team needs better attitude... but i guess its because they are playing for disney...

Hatcher's from Michigan. It was either going to be the Wings or the Stars. No one else had much of a chance of landing him. Besides, with his early-season injury, the Wings didn't get a whole lot of bang for their buck.

that's good news. now keep skoula as well.. :)
and vish, and salei..
go ahead and throw in ozo

I really wish the Maloofs would buy the Ducks. They're great owners of the Kings, and can turn this team into a winner.

Also, hopefully they do buy the Ducks, and St.Louis doesn't qualify Chrissy Pronger. The Maloof bros would try and sign him. Maybe Esiener will, too.

We won't get Pronger...that is a pipe dream unless we say goodbye to Serghay.
