I really hope he doesn't he is my all-time favorite defenseman and is a true hockey great and if he does retire he is heading right to the Hall. I also think this is a good move by Burke to pick up a great D-Man like Schneider incase Niedermayer does retire, not that they would be weak on defense considering they have Pronger and Beaucheman, imagine Niedermayer, Pronger, Schneider and Beaucheman as your top 4 D-Men.

Well if he does it's not a bad thing because he would be going out on top with a stanley cup you can't really go wrong.

I love Charles Wang

If Selanne and Niedermayer leave, the Ducks will lose two key players. But oil-country's right, it was smart of Burke to grab Schneider, a great d-man, to replace Scott if he does leave. But if he doesn't retire (and if Teemu doesn't), Anaheim could potentially lift Cup #2.

I honestley think Selanne will stay , he's having too much fun. And he's playing great back to back 40 goal seasons.

If Scotty is thinking of retiring then now would be the best time. Right after you win the cup. There is no other time to do it. I wouldn't be surprised if Niedermayer or Selanne retired.

If Niedermayer retires Anahiem will be in a lot of trouble because he is probably Anahiem's best defencemen. I think Brian Burke might have to go out and make a trade for a quality veteran defender.

Sorry it is much easier to read like this...

I hope he does not leave, he is in my hockey pool, and I picked him. I would have to get everyone to pick another defenceman, because everyone picked Niedermayer...


I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

Did you do your season pool already?

Second place is only first place of the losers.

We'll miss him one of the better defenceman to play this game!

Supposelley, a guy I know went to there house to meet the Niedermayer's and he said it was just like they were a normal family, you wouldn't know they have millions of dollars.

He's a good player and a good guy! The NHL loves those type of guy's!
