I know this isn't a reliable source, but rumours are fun. www.thefourthperiod.com/news/ana051201.htmlDecember 1, 2005 Ducks looking to deal TheFourthPeriod.com
The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim are looking to make a few more changes to their roster, with reports suggesting the team is actively shopping veterans Petr Sykora and Sandis Ozolinsh. According to Rogers Sportsnet, Ducks GM Brian Burke sent out yet another fax to his 29 counterparts regarding Sykora's status.
Burke alerted teams that the 29-year-old winger will be in Anaheim's lineup on Saturday when they host the Atlanta Thrashers.
Ozolinsh, meanwhile, has been recently diagnosed with a strained knee after injuring it last Sunday and is listed as day-to-day.
Sykora is making $3.116 million this year, while Ozolinsh's paycheck will total $2.75 million by the end of the season.From the same site, apparently Gainey is staying pat, but keeping his eyes on the waiver wire. Personally, why not go for it and grab Sykora? It will cost us some players, but Sykora is still a young player with plenty of upside.

I found something on ESPN that I couldn't link that stated Sykora had signed a 3 year/12 million $ deal Sept/03. Since 03/04 was cancelled I assume that this is the 1st year of the deal & he has 2 years left- amost a 9 million $ commitment.
Not sure what Burke would want. He didn't get much for Fedorov but he was carrying a much larger contract.

I think they have Sykora's contract status wrong which is one reason I don't trust the 4thperiod.. The bottom of this link shows he signed a 3 year deal in September 03. Also his game by game stuff is unimpressive in the last 10 games - 1 goal and two assists. This along with his contract may be why Burke wants him gone. .

The Ducks have been playing like crap, too. Hopefully they'll continue that slide when they play us on Saturday.
