Perry does not want so resign with Anaheim, this is well known to everyone but apparently you.

Based on what? How does Schultz not signing have anything to do with Perry signing or not signing? They are completely independent events. Perry's already told the press that Getzlaf being in Anaheim longterm will impact his decision (though of course he's gonna do what's best for him). I think he walks, but is it worth it if you win the Cup? Of course it is.

Teams like to sell tickets. They like money. A Stanley Cup run would be a boon to this franchise, even if you lose. Getting some playoff cash would be awesome for the Ducks. I think they add a blueliner for a playoff run, and let Perry walk in the offseason.

You're in the business to win and make money. Keeping Perry past the deadline makes both more likely. The only way they trade Perry is if they get back a guy who could eventually be a stud winger. The Pens can't offer that. The situation has changed, radically, from two months ago. You don't seem to realize that. You're only looking at what's good for the Penguins. Other teams have their own goals, too.

Teams don't just give things to the Penguins for free. Well, except the Stars, but that was a one time thing.

i'm not even sure Alfredsson gets moved. and given the Flames track record, they might dither and fail to move Iginla via their own stupidity.
