Ducks General Manager Brian Burke will meet with Scott Niedermayer today to discuss whether the superstar defenseman intends to retire, as he strongly suggested in July, or consider playing part or all of the 2007-08 season.
"Obviously, with camp opening in a week, we need to know what's going on," Burke said Tuesday.
Burke said he was to meet with Niedermayer sometime "over the next 48 hours," but Niedermayer's agent, Kevin Epp, confirmed the two would get together today.
Epp said that Niedermayer "doesn't want to completely close the door" on his career. Niedermayer, who played on three Stanley Cup-winning teams in New Jersey, led the Ducks to their first title in June.
"To say that he wants to completely retire is probably not correct," Epp said, "but I don't think he's ready to start the season. I think he's in limbo."
