Hiller Contract

 CONGRATULATIONS TO TROY BODIE FOR HIS FIRST 2 NHL GOALS!

Contracts; the piece of paper which, in sports, keeps players signed to a certain team. This applies for every single professional sport. Including minor leagues to their respective teams.

Bobby Ryan is on of the few players, who must be signed without fail as far as been made public: Bobby's contract talks have stopped just early this season; fans are hoping both the Ducks and him are able to come to some sort of agreement, as Bobby seems to really like the Ducks and was practically raised in Southern California, he also played his non-professional hockey career with the Los Angeles Junior Kings.

With players such as Teemu Selanne and Scott Niedermayer contemplating retirement, if they do this would bring a wide amount of cap space. Of course, no one wants them to retire.There is also the likes of Saku Koivu returning
  Hiller's price is likely to rise; as known Hiller has not signed an extension which will prompt him to stay with the Ducks, who  he was signed by as undrafted  free agent in 2007.


J.S.  Giguere's lengthy and expensive contract may pay a role; neither goalie wants to be sitting on the bench, and Hiller said he doesn't want to just sign he wants to be sure he'll be the No 1 goaltender, and it could from a point be seeing despite the fact that Hiller has had more consistent minutes than Giguere, he is not 100% comfortable with the fact that he will be a No 1 goaltender for the Anaheim Ducks; his performance regulates as a higher pay, double, if not triple what he is being paid now. 1.3 million is his current contract. Since he has not signed an extension, he is an unrestricted free agent. Teams are watching him, a goaltender at his status and performance for since he had stepped in for Giguere and then taken his No 1 spot will not go unnoticed. Hiller stated he, if he doesn't know by the end of the season, or more likely during the season; he will sign with a different team who would give him the starting role on their team.

As of now, it sounds like Hiller is the No 1 goaltender and that Giguere will be asking to waive his NTC, this is very possible, but there's also the possibility of Hiller being gone next season wearing a different sweater. Hiller has been hot, he has only lost one game in his last few starts, and he has been impressive where he has bailed the team out more than once. The team in front of him as also been playing better than they did in the first half of the season. Hiller has been happier with his consistent playing time, as he has stated it is a good sign. Now, the goalie situation needs to be known as a for sure thing.

Giguere has been the face of the franchise goalie wise, and if he does go, it'd be a very sad day considering his tenure and accomplishments in a Ducks sweater.
