To me this signing looks like a GM willing to overpay and over-commit to guys just so his team has at least a couple of kicks at the Cup, without much regard for the long term.
Chances are if the Ducks don't win in the next couple of years, Murray will be gone and Kesler's contract becomes someone else's problem. And if they do, nobody will care about a couple of bad contracts.

Exactly. Why do people think GM's overly care about the cap in 6 years?
Anaheim is built to win the cup now, before Getz and Perry are past their primes/way past.
This is the cycle of a salary cap. You need to decide when your 3-4 year window is and try to win.
In 2020 who knows what anything will look like! We could have more lockouts, compliance buyouts, expansion, etc.
The point of the NHL is the WIN the cup, not set up for years of being pretty good.
