Top 10 Off-season Acquisitions for 2012-13

It’s a shame the 2012 off-season will forever be overshadowed by a labor dispute. High profile free-agent signings like Zach Parise, Ryan Suter, and Alex Semin along with blockbuster trades including players such as Rick Nash, Jordan Staal, and James van Riemsdyk are eclipsed by memories of hockey related revenue, “make-whole”, player pensions, and the ...

The Anaheim Ducks have locked up their captain long-term, signing Ryan Getzlaf to an eight-year deal worth 8.25 million annually according to ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun.

However, the team stumbled badly out of the gate last year, posting a 7-13-4 ...

Anaheim Ducks Boast Impressive History at World Juniors

Ducks fans are going to want to keep a very close eye on Team Sweden at this year’s World Junior Hockey Championships. In total, three Ducks prospects will be suiting up for the Swedes including 2012 1st round pick Hampus Lindholm, and 2011 picks Rickard Rakell and William Karlsson, all of whom are expected to ...
