Poll Question:
As NHL training camps are starting, Scott Niedermayer still hasnt shown up too the Ducks camp. He has already been suspended by the Ducks for not reporting to camp. His retirement descision has not been made yet....What do you think?

I hate to say it but I think he is done. He has nothing to play for anymore. Selanne is still very questionable.

I think if Rob really tries to get his brother back, Scott might be back for another year.

I think what Neidermayer is doing right now is not that cool. Make a decision. No player is bigger than the team or the league.
However, I do think it's totally cool when a player walks away from the game in their prime. Barry Sanders and Tiki Barber come to mind.
If you are under the age of 15, please do some research before you make a post about anything pre-1997. |

He'll come back. He'll take a few months off and be back after Christmas. I think after all he has contributed to the game/team he has earned the right to take some more time to ponder his future. Besides because he is suspended his salary doesn't apply to the cap so it's not hurting the team financially. If it did hurt the team I think he would have made a decision earlier. Very responsible if you ask me.

He had all summer to think it over, I can not believe that he could not make his mind up.
This is tough on the team, there are some young guns that will give it their all in camp to play in Anaheim this season, and then three weeks into the season, BLAM Niedermayer shows up I want to play...
Sorry but sh?t or get off the pot...
I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

It's a conspiracy. Burke and Neidermeyer planned it this way because of the cap.

Pucknuts you know I'm your biggest fan buddy, but I disagree with you this time. If he was playing, those kids wouldn't even have a spot. They should be grateful to get the shot to prove themselves for a couple months (or however long) The experience for them is invaluable. There is no financial burden to the team....and Niedermayer's summer was pretty short because he was too busy winning the Stanley Cup. So I think it's ok for him to do, his career has earned it. If it was a major problem I think Scott and Brian would address it.
The only issue I see is the ticket sales. I bet they can sell more tickets with Neidermayer committed than not. But since they are the NHL champs the ticket sales are probably going ok (as good as ticket sales go in California that is) |

I think Scott will hang them up and he should cause the Ducks have had there day and thats more then most can expect! If he comes back then he proves to me to be way too big for his own good. I have no respect for a player to hold up any team ! |
