With the Ducks having a longer off-season than of the recent two seasons, they often found themselves in the middle of media headlines.
Off the ice, the feud between Burke and former Oilers GM Lowe heated, as once again words were thrown between both in the media.
League commissioner Gary Bettman ordered the feud to "cease and desist".
Owner Henry Samueli was imprisoned for lying to the Securities and Exchange Commission judge about a fraudulent business operation.
[http://articles.latimes.com/2008/sep/09/business/fi-samueli9] Bettman gave interim ownership of the team to Anaheim Ducks CEO Michael Schulman, as the Samuelis were banned from any contact with the Ducks whatsoever.
The Ducks placed Bertuzzi on waivers, where he was eventually not claimed and became a free agent.
He eventually was signed by the Calgary Flames.
Going into the off-season the Ducks were looking to fill the void left on the second-line center position ever since McDonald was traded.
They ended up signing Vancouver Canucks center Brendan Morrison to a one-year deal.
More good news would abound as Scott Niedermayer announced he would return for another season.
The Ducks also signed Perry to a six-year deal.
Despite all the off-season moves however, the Ducks were still in a logjam cap-wise, and in turn dealt Schneider to the Atlanta Thrashers in exchange for Ken Klee, Brad Larsen, and minor-leaguer Chad Painchaud.
Moving Schneider to Atlanta freed up enough cap room to re-sign Selanne, who was previously signed to a pro tryout contract in the preseason to ensure no team would send a counter offer his way.
Veteran defenseman Sean O'Donnell was dealt a few days into the preseason, in what Burke called a cap-related move.
O'Donnell was dealt to the Kings for a conditional third-round pick.
After a franchise record 6-1-1 pre-season, the Ducks opened the regular season in San Jose, taking on the Sharks in what would end up a 4-1 loss for the Ducks.

Three Anaheim Ducks players, Getzlaf, Giguere and Scott Niedermayer, were all named starters for the game.
The Ducks fortunes didn't change much after the break as the team lost 4 out of their first 6 games.
As the trade deadline approached the Ducks were considered one of the more interesting teams because they were right on the cusp of being a seller.
Several high profile players were said to be on the block including defensemen Pronger and Niedermayer.
Neither player was ultimately dealt but the Ducks did make one move before the deadline.
On February 27, the Ducks traded Kunitz as well as prospect Eric Tangradi to Pittsburgh for defenseman Ryan Whitney.
GM Murray explained the team needed to, "re-tool the defense with a good puck moving defenseman."
On trade deadline day the Ducks proved to be quite busy.

Ducks are medium-sized aquatic birds with broad bills, eyes on the side of the head, fairly long necks, short legs set far back on the body and webbed feet.
Males, known as drakes, are often larger than females (simply known as ducks) and are differently coloured in some breeds.
Domestic ducks are omnivores eating a variety of animal and plant materials such as aquatic insects, molluscs, worms, small amphibians, waterweed and grasses.
They feed in shallow water by dabbling, with their heads underwater and their tails upended.
Most domestic ducks are too heavy to fly, and they are social birds, preferring to live and move around together in groups.
They keep their plumage waterproof by preening, a process that spreads the secretions of the preen gland over their feathers.
Clay models of ducks found in China dating back to 4000 BC may indicate that the domestication of ducks took place there during the Yangshao culture.
Even if this is not the case, domestication of the duck took place in the Far East at least 1500 years earlier than in the West.
Lucius Columella, writing in the first century BC, advised those who sought to rear ducks to collect wildfowl eggs and put them under a broody hen, because when raised in this way, the ducks "lay aside their wild nature and without hesitation breed when shut up in the bird pen".
Despite this, ducks did not appear in agricultural texts in Western Europe until about 810 AD when they begin to be mentioned alongside geese, chickens and peafowl as being used for rental payments made by tenants to landowners.
It is widely agreed that the Mallard ("Anas platyrhynchos") is the ancestor of all breeds of domestic duck (with the exception of the Muscovy Duck ("Cairina moschata"), which is not closely related to other ducks).
Ducks are farmed mainly for their meat, eggs and down.
As is the case with chickens, various breeds have been developed, selected for egg-laying ability, fast growth and a well-covered carcase.
The most common commercial breed in the United Kingdom and the United States is the Pekin duck, which can lay two hundred eggs a year and can reach a weight of in forty-four days.
In the Western world, ducks are not as popular as chickens, because the latter produce larger quantities of white, lean meat and are easier to keep intensively, making the price of chicken meat lower than that of duck meat.
While popular in "haute cuisine", duck appears less frequently in the mass-market food industry.
However, things are different in the East.
Ducks are more popular there than chickens and are mostly still herded in the traditional way and selected for their ability to find sufficient food in harvested rice fields and other wet environments. 
After much talk about having a good start, the Ducks had one of their worst starts in franchise history losing their first three games and going 4–7–1 in the month of October.
Their first three games were one the road in Detroit, Nashville, and St. Louis, were outscored 13–2 and were shut out by Detroit in the first game of the season.
Returning home, the Ducks rebounded a little bit after the horrendous first three games by beating the eventual President's Trophy winner Vancouver Canucks 4–3.
They proceeded to lose the next game in a shootout to the Minnesota Wild and beat division rival Phoenix to close out the three game home stand.
The Ducks would then go 1–1 in the first two games of a four game road trip and they were able to seize a playoff spot despite the 0–3 start to the season.
They did, however, lose the next game to Detroit 5–4 to knock them out of the top eight and even though they won the final game of the road trip, they wouldn't return to the top eight until November 9.
On the road trip, the Ducks went 2–2.
When the Ducks returned to Honda Center on the 29th, they faced the team that beat them in the Stanley Cup Final in 2003: the New Jersey Devils.
The Devils edged the Ducks 2–1 and to round out what was a disappointing month, Anaheim lost to arch-rival San Jose on the 30th.
