Scott Niedermayer Leaning Towards Retirement
Sunday, Jul. 1st, 2007
ANAHEIM, Calif. – Anaheim Ducks Executive Vice President/General Manager Brian Burke released the following statement this afternoon regarding the Scott Niedermayer situation and signing of Mathieu Schneider:
“Scott Niedermayer has informed me that he is leaning toward retirement,” said Burke. “Typical of his character and leadership, he made the call this morning in order to allow us to make alternative plans in the event he does not return. Although he has not retired and would be welcomed back, we felt adding another top NHL defenseman was critical to defending our championship. Mathieu Schneider fits into that category and will be a great addition to our team.”
