So from a certain rumor website we all know comes talk of our old friend Paul Kariya coming back to finish his career in Anaheim with his old buddy Teemu.  In the perfect world I would sign Kariya and Koivu in the offseason and begin the most intriguing possibly devastating line combination we have seen in a long while.  We know Selanne and Kariya can play together, we know Selanne and Koivu can play together, is it a far stretch to imagine that Koivu and Kariya could play together just as well?  Many would argue that Kariya is a risk coming back from two surgeries last season, (one on each leg) but his production since returning eases my mind on that matter.  However, with the way Selanne, Blake, and Koivu played together last season, I would love to see them continue to play together still.  So how to choose. . . Do you bring back the man that was the face of this franchise for so long to reunite the dynamic duo plus a Finnish friend? Or do you stick with what works in the Old Timer Line and keep Blake around?

Mind you this is all considering if somehow, someway we would be able to re-sign Bobby Ryan, re-sign Koivu, and sign an free agent defensemen or resign Great Scott if he doesn't retire and STILL be able to fit Kariya under the cap.  Not to mention if we did sign Kariya, what would we do with Blake and Lupul?  Both make about 4 million each.  Do you try to make a third scoring line AGAIN, or do you trade them and try to get some defensive help? I don't like the idea of a third scoring line because I think in the Western Conference you need the checking line AND the energy line to keep up the physical presence.

How much would you be willing to sacrifice to see possibly the sweetest Duck line ever play together, and is it worth not only the risk of it failing, but the sacrifice of the future of younger players (Lupul, Sexton?) to see glory for most likely only one season (depending on how much Teemu has left in the tank at the end of the season and how long we sign Koivu and Kariya for). 

Well, what do you think?
