from Dan Wood of Ducks Blog at the OC Register,
The Detroit Red Wings, in great position to win a second consecutive Stanley Cup championship and fifth in 12 seasons, have often attributed much of their success to the fact that numerous players have taken less money than they might have received elsewhere in order to remain in Hockeytown….
A number of current Ducks players who stand to become unrestricted free agents July 1 are in position to make similar financial concessions that could help the organization build on this season’s impressive playoff run that ended with Thursday’s 4-3 loss at Detroit in Game 7 of the second round.
Four key members of the Ducks — defensemen Scott Niedermayer and Francois Beauchemin, center Todd Marchant and right wing Rob Niedermayer — are set for unrestricted free agency. As players went their separate ways Saturday, at least two expressed potential interest in the idea of taking less money to remain with the Ducks.
