Bergeron Trade Is All About Dollars and Cents
This is all a hunch of mine from a site i work for, but it seems legit

I am not a writer that really likes to dig into rumors, but this time one really dug at me. A rumor, to be honest that I’m choosing to start.

Ask yourself as a Ducks or hockey fan:

Why, With Scott Niedermayer possibly retiring would Brian Burke give up a young, experienced, offensive defenseman for a brand new rookie?

Answer: Bergeron frees up about $1.2 million, this is money on top of the Ducks expected not to sign Doug Weight ($3.5million). This freed $4.7million + Cap room is more than enough to sign Corey Perry, plus some left over.

This leftover could go to securing Scott Niedermayer, or Teemu Selanne, who have until the draft to decide on staying or retiring.

Also, with this trade look for the Ducks, with or without Niedermayer, to draft a blue liner with the 12th pick. With Scott contemplating retirement and needing to get younger on D the Ducks must pick up a first or second round defenseman.

None of this is fact, or even a popular rumor on the net. Just some insight from the Ducks CL, only the draft will tell us the answer.

Going Forward:

1. Look for a Corey Perry signing before the draft.

2. Doug Weight will either retire or try his hand at free agency come July.

3. Ducks draft a Defenseman with 12th pick overall at 08 draft in Ottawa.

(I have no real evidence to base this stuff on, but maybe my hunch is right.)
