Niedermayer, Selanne face deadline
Ducks General Manager Brian Burke says he has given Scott Niedermayer and Teemu Selanne until next month's NHL entry draft to inform the club of their intentions to either play in 2008-09 or retire. Burke says he has spoken with both players, including a recent face-to-face meeting with Niedermayer, and let them know that they won't be afforded the luxury of rejoining the Ducks midway through the season, as they did in 2007-08.

It's about time they stopped pandering to these players. Either play the whole season or retire.

The deadline for these two already passed as far as im concerned. If you dont come off the ice after getting beat out saying "damnit i cant wait till next year" you should become a cabana boy for Mrs Burke!!!

cmh- And if he retires from the NHL this season he will have set more records than he did as a rookie in doing so...for most retirements in one season!

I call the bluff... if he tries to do something that ridiculous he'd better be looking for a job managing a Dairy Queen in the Dallas area at the same time.

Obviously, their little trick to get around the regular season did not benefit them in the playoffs. Nobody should be too good to get to skip the regular season. If they had played the regular season, they might have had a highter seed so they would not have had to face a divisional foe in the first round. I hope they go to the golf course and turn pro and forget about hockey. They don't deserve to play with the guys who come to the rink everday to practice and play. BYE BYE
