I'd be pretty content with this. A few thoughts:
-Man, I'd love to add Bertuzzi...Can he stay healthy though? Pretty risky contract, but definitely not a bad addition for year 1.
-I'm still banking on someone overpaying to dump cap (ahem...lookin' at you Vancouver!). While I'd like to solidify the back end, I'm *reasonably* confident that we're going to see some sort of San Diego-Anaheim cycle, where Minty, Luneau, Helleson, and Zellweger all get looks throughout the year, while also playing bigger minutes in the AHL. Definitely curious about it though.
-Sticking with that, *if* the Ducks were to acquire someone like Myers (and get paid to do so), I think I'd prefer it over Ceci. Still though, I'd be happy to add Holl on a 1 year deal...something tells me somebody is going to grab him and sign him for 2-3 years though (I don't want that to be Anaheim).
-Contracts to Z/Terry/Drysdale seem solid. I'm genuinely curious about Drysdale though-I wonder if he ends up signing a 1 year deal to try to cash in next year on a bigger deal, or second bridge.
-I like the idea of adding Colton, or someone similar to make the team harder to play against. I think most of us (Ducks fans) want to see Comtois play with a coach that isn't Eakins, but I'm 50/50 on whether he gets non-tendered or not.
-I *hope* Lundy gets a shot on the second line. If they can build his value up a bit, he'd be a great guy to package in year 2 to upgrade the top 6.
Cheers!
