So how long before Burke makes him an offer?

No worries here, Lupul is to Niedermayer at scoring empty net goals as Niedermayer is to Reasoner at hipchecking.

Read this post for a while and decided a hip-checking contest between Niedermayer and Reasoner would be like a chicken-wing eating contest between Paris Hilton and Hayden Panetierre - someone would eventually win, but everyone watching would come away feeling dissatisfied and somewhat nauseated.

So, not knowing what he meant, I'll just post some stats.

2005-2009 EN goals
Rob Niedermayer - 9
Joffrey Lupul - 1

Mind = blown.

Seriously, what the heck is that supposed to mean?

Someone's been studying SAT analogies too hard.

Anyways, this may be news to the rest of the NHL, but it seemed practically a foregone conclusion to the Ducks followers. No cap room. Even mention in OC media pre-July 1st that he'll be allowed to explore other options and likely wouldn't be re-signed.
