Ryan Getzlaf could stay in the Ducks organization after his retirement at the end of the season

On Tuesday, Anaheim Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf said that he will be retiring from the National Hockey League at the end of the 2021-22 season.

Getzlaf, 36, spent his entire 17-year career with the Anaheim Ducks, and is the franchise leader in points (1,013), assists (731), and games played (1,150).

During Tuesday's edition of Insider Trading on TSN, Pierre LeBrun mentioned that there has been preliminary talks between Getzlaf and the Ducks' ownership regarding a potential role within the organization.

The Regina (Saskatchewan) native had a great career, both in the NHL and internationally. He won a Stanley Cup in 2007, Olympic gold medals in 2010 and 2014, as well as the World Cup of Hockey in 2016. There are questions whether or not he'll be a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer, but there's no doubt that Getzlaf will be enshrined in downtown Toronto at some point down the road.
