There a 3 MAJOR events in 2013 that will dictate the next decade in the NHL.
1. New CBA - Cap circumvention will lead the way by eliminating those wacky long term deals and this will only benefit Burkes style of signing FA's. The cap will also be increasing at a slow rate but increasing at the end of the day.
2. Draft - Projected by the hockey world to be the best since 03'. An example that speaks volumes is the deal between Washington and the Avs (Washington receives Colorado's 2012 1st round pick and a 2012 or 2013 2nd round pick (Capitals choice) for Semyon Varlamov.)
3. UFA market - The 2013 UFA market is stacked with impact players that could change the makeup of any team at any time. Some notables are: Crosby/Getzlaf/Perry/J.Staal/Iginla/Quick/Lehtonen and many many more
If this team we currently have doesn't perform next year it would be a blessing in disguise because the draft is strong and the FA market gives us the flexibility to change the core with zero expense of assets. The CBA will impact the way FA are signed in 2013 and it looks like it will favor the way Burkie does business.
CBA: It gets renewed every however many years, not very groundbreaking.
Draft: Maybe Im wrong but to me it seems if a draft is over a year away, everyone says its a deep draft, deepest one in years. But as we get closer it magically becomes a weak draft. It definitely happened with this years draft.
Free Agency: Free agency years always look nicer when they're far away because teams havent bothered with resigning them yet, most of those big guys will resign next year.

This years draft was injury riddled and had too much of a Euro/defensive prospects. Do some research on draft eligible players for 2013 and you will understand.
Yes, most will sign but not all and that UFA market will be stacked because players and agents will use that leverage to get themost out of teams... A guy like Crosby will sign but can the Ducks afford both Perry and Getz...

And it will be the first hockey in 18 months as the newly revamped NHL's 11 remaining teams come back from a second catastrophic work stoppage and attempt to win back fans without a major TV deal.

same thing was said about this years draft when they were comparing it to last years draft.
...and you can likely snip my quote above and use it at this time next year, because they will be saying the exact same thing again.
if we can get a lottery pick next year too! it be awesome! i wouldn't mind that!!! we want a stanley cup, not a playoffs then lose... So we need to build right to get that cup.. just like pens,hawks! TankNation 2013!!! wootwoot! :p
Lol at the OP... this is what he wrote yesterday. Bolded it and everything. Bi-polar or just stupid?
Quote:
i don't get the fascination Leaf Nation has with picks... Look at all the top 5 busts over the past 10 years!!! I'll take a proven 40G player any day of the week!!!
THIS DRAFT IS ONE OF THE WEAKEST IN NHL HISTORY
Am i the only one who feels that Nash would be a steel for that pick?
1. he wants to play here
2. he is a top 5 PF in the world
3. he has championship pedigree
4. scored 40g multiple times
5. is a proven captain and leader
6. still young (27)
7. was a 1st OVERALL pick
8. has size
9. top 20 in the world in skill
10. local kid that knows the pressure in T.O

What`s your point... I agree it`s a weak draft but in NHL history, that`s a stretch. The top 10 has some extremely talented players, and while it fizzes out after that point it has no real affect on us. Regarding Nash, while much of what the OP said is pumping the tires of Toronto to Nash its an option to consider. What exactly are the chances of a fifth overall pick turning into a 40 goal scorer...
Yes, I imagine most of the impact UFAs will re-sign before hitting the market. But it always surprises me, considering the stupid money that gets thrown at even middling types on July 1.

No
Your wrong their PRO payroll going into the 2013 season actually is only about 20 million right now. The cap could also increase by then so they might have even more money to play with. They have rookies emerging too like Etem who can play at a low cost on their roster. Getzlaf and Perry while very talented I can`t see getting more than around 8 million a season each season. If I were Anahiem I would consider moving one of them in order to maximize my asset management. Getzlaf hasn`t been a dominant player in this league for a couple seasons now, I would have to think that they`ve atleast thought about moving him.

I highly doubt you see both Perry and Getz in the same uniform come 2014.

Based on which facts.. From a salary cap perspective it could be done, and lets not forget their close friends that won a cup with each other. I would assume that they would want to play the longevity of their careers together.

your right no facts but the FACT is the Ducks are a small market team!
It's unlikely they can afford Getzlaf @ $8+M over 5+ years (easily can get as a FA. See E.Staal) AND Perry @ $8+ M over 5+ years (easily can get as a FA. See Nash)
PLUS they have B. Ryan/Hiller/Fowler that are needed to be competitive. PLUS they need to add some core players from aging 2nd liners Selanne/Blake/Koivu. PLUS even with that core they finishes 6th last! Because they didnt have any depth in there bottom 6/defense/goal.
For me all i see is too much $$$ for a small market team like the Ducks.

The fact that you think they want 8mil is hilarious. I doubt they will ask more 6.6mil. Getz and Perry could also take a discount. You might not want to get your expectations that high.
TankNation 2013!!! wootwoot! :p
