^ Unless you are counting this year in which Getzlaf is playing fantastic so far (27 points in 22 games), and has the Ducks in second place in the conference.
Hopefully he keeps it up since it'll help out my fantasy team. Maybe he can pot 5 tonight and still end up losing...

And hes locked up until hes 35. I personally dont like this deal, I think the Ducks got hosed.
People havent learned, you pay for potential not past performance.

He has been a PPG player in 4 of the last 5 seasons, and should get there this year as well. Getzlaf also has been stellar in the playoffs, and was key in their cup run. I see no reason why he won't put up similar numbers for years to come.
Also don't forget that they are probably going to lose Perry, and to even risk losing Getzlaf might have dealt a huge blow to their fanbase. They needed to sign one of them during the season before they tempted hitting free agency, and they won't be traded with the Ducks in second place. Next year he will now be their main selling point with Perry and Selanne likely gone.
