And people were talking about that as a possibility.
Perry and Getzlaf were coming close to UFA IIRC and discussions about trading them popped up.

Looks foolish now. Imagine trading Getzlaf for Kadri, Bozak, Schenn, and Colborne.
I do kind of think that with that young d-core the Ducks could look at moving Kesler and Perry in the coming years to try and help re-stock with younger forward depth. You keep Getzlaf as your big strong playmaking center (his style ages better then the other two IMO) and you can probably keep a really strong team together as those d-men come into their prime.
