NHL Entry Draft

With the 9th Pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, the Anaheim Ducks Have Selected Trevor Zegras From the US NTDP Program. About Trevor Zegras In hockey, there has to be a balance between playmaking and shooting in any good lineup. While Trevor Zegras may not be the best shooter in the world, his role isn't going to be a shoot-first center at the NHL level. Instead, he'll use his elite-level passing to make a name for himself and potentially become a No. 1 pivot in the NHL. THW Prospect Profile Excerpt "The USHL will be well represented at the top of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. As it stands, there are six players from the US U18 National Team Development Program who are in consideration to go top-10 in the draft, including Jack Hughes who is almost a lock for the first-overall selection. While Trevor Zegras may not be in the discussion for first overall alongside Hughes and Kaapo Kakko, he is still in top-10 consideration and it’ll be surprising to see him fall much lower...

NHL Entry Draft

In my last article, I highlighted why the Anaheim Ducksneed to draft a center with their No. 9 overall pick. Luckily, they have two first-round picks, No. 9 (their own) and No 29 (received in the Brandon Montour trade). That means they can address another organizational need, a potential top-four defenseman, later in the first round. Ducks Need to Reload on Defense One storyline of the Ducks’ last couple seasons has been general manager Bob Murray’s willingness to part with talented puck-moving defensemen. After trading Montour in 2018-19, Sami Vatanen in 2017-18 and Shea Theodore in the summer of 2017, it’s time for Anaheim to restock. They aren’t in dire straits yet, with Hampus Lindholm, Cam Fowler and Josh Manson leading the pack. They also have Brendan Guhle, who they received in the Montour trade and Josh Mahura and Jacob Larsson to round out a strong group. Lindholm and Manson are under contract for three more seasons. If they don’t re-sign, there...

News

There were rumors the Anaheim Ducks were trying to rid themselves of the remaining years and dollars attached to the contract of former Hart Trophy Winner Corey Perry. Speculation was, if the team couldn't trade him, they'd consider a buyout. That's exactly what happened on Wednesday. The Anaheim Ducks have taken advantage of the buyout window and will pay Perry over the long-term not to play for them any longer. He had two years left on his contract with an annual cap hit of $8.62 million per season. https://twitter.com/AnaheimDucks/status/1141378873478696960 A 14-year veteran, Perry spent his entire career with the Ducks, recording 776 points in 988 games (372 G, 404 A). Related: NHL Rumors: Canucks, Penguins, Jets, Senators, More The Buyout Details The Ducks will have to incur the cost of $2 million per season over the next four seasons with the buyout. Perry's cap hit will be as follows: 2019-20: $2,625,000 2020-21: $6,625,0002021-22: $2,000,000...

NHL Entry Draft

The NHL Draft is just a few days away, and the Anaheim Ducks hold the highest pick they’ve had (No. 9) since 2012. The pick comes at an interesting time for Anaheim. Coming off their worst season since 2011-12, they just hired Dallas Eakins as head coach and hope he will be around long enough to deploy the new assets they pick up at this and future drafts. The Ducks have needs at center and defense, which they should address with their two picks in the first round. Here’s a look at three candidates for the Ducks' first pick. (Stay tuned later this week for candidates the Ducks could take at No. 29) It's a Good Year to Need a Center With Ryan Getzlaf approaching the end of his career and Ryan Kesler likely to end up on long term injured reserve for the rest of his career, the Ducks need to reload at the center position. Center Ryan Getzlaf is declining in production and nearing the end of his career. The Ducks need to draft his replacement and now is a good time....

Ducks History

  The Anaheim Ducks have, by and large, been blessed when it comes to National Hockey League expansion teams. Stars like Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne graced their roster – then composed of Mighty Ducks – early on in their existence. They made two Stanley Cup finals in four seasons, taking the New Jersey Devils to seven games in 2003 before winning it all in 2007, at the expense of the Ottawa Senators. Despite having never again reached the precipice, the Ducks have been one of the most dominant teams in the Western Conference, lo these many years. However, despite this history of on-ice success, they’ve never quite figured out the uniform side of things. A Bold Beginning It all began with a colour scheme that resembled an Oompa Loompa’s vomit. Jade and eggplant were the dominant colours, strange choices for an NHL team, to be sure. And yet, when combined, they're really rather endearing. The aggressive-looking, disembodied,...

Ducks Management

Anaheim Ducks general manager Bob Murray has finally made the move most fans and media have been anticipating since the start of 2019. Rumors began circulating Sunday that Murray had decided to hire San Diego Gulls head coach Dallas Eakins as the Ducks' new head coach. By Monday the team made it official. https://twitter.com/AnaheimDucks/status/1140651585002885120 Eakins is the right choice for a Ducks team in transition. Some people have pointed to his failed time as the Edmonton Oilers' head coach as reason why he isn’t right, but make no mistake, Eakins is the smartest choice.Now the Ducks need to give him the best opportunity to win. What the Ducks Can Learn From Eakins’ Time in Edmonton Eakins has admitted he learned a lot from his only other NHL head coaching experience with the Oilers. It would be wise for the Ducks to learn from it as well. They need to understand what went wrong in Edmonton so they can avoid the same mistakes. The first lesson they need...
