The Scott Niedermayer countdown winds down.
I found it: A real-time NHL draft countdown.
Hopefully Scott Niedermayer has found it, too. That's how long he has to decide whether to retire or seek a contract with the Ducks for 2009-10. We're down to four days and eight hours-plus as of this posting, meaning the defenseman is soon to make a decision.
Until then, you can throw out the window any draft projections that have the Ducks leaning one way or another, as their selection is sure to depend on whether a certain Hall of Fame defenseman is expected back or not.
About J.P.
J.P. Hoornstra has been covering the Anaheim Ducks since 2007. Eight months after the University of Wisconsin won its third NCAA hockey championship, he was born in a frigid Madison winter. He betrayed his blue-blooded beginnings by graduating from UCLA in 2003, and welcomes any and all dialogue on the finer points of hockey.
