Rumor: Ryan Getzlaf declines trade out of Anaheim

Ryan Getzlaf's name has surfaced recently in trade rumors as the Anaheim Ducks work themselves through a time of transition. According to sources close to Getzlaf, the player has recently declined a trade out of Anaheim at this time.

Believe is the deal was either to western Canada or there has been a ton of speculation the Ducks and Blue Jackets were trying to work out a blockbuster.

Getzlaf holds all his cards, as he has and deserves to have a full no-move clause in his contract. Some executives around the league feel this summer could be an easier time to facilitate a deal, where more teams would be interested, and the Ducks could easily maximize their return, while finding a home for Getzlaf that he approves of.

Keep on eye on 'Getzy' as the reality in Anaheim is settling in that the Perry/Getzlaf era, which was partially blown up, could be finally over for the Ducks.
