Quoting: bryceguy
What do the Ducks need? Are they going into rebuild mode, or hoping to re-tool next year?
Anaheim needs right-side defenders, whether right-handed or not. (We'd be fine with Alec Martinez, Jonas Brodin or Marcus Nutivaara, for example.) Now that we've traded Korbinian Holzer, the only right-handed defensemen in the entire organization (including farm) signed for next year are Josh Manson, Eric Gudbranson and the newly-acquired Axel Andersson. (On our Reserve List is Hunter Drew.) Here's our depth chart:
C: Getzlaf, Henrique, Steel, Lundestrom*, Zegras**, Groulx*, Morand* (* = non-roster; ** = unsigned)
LW: Heinen, Jones, Milano, Comtois*, Des Lauriers, Tracey*, McLaughlin**
RW: Rakell (also plays LW), Silfverberg, Terry, Sherwood
LD: Fowler, Lindholm, Larsson, Guhle, Mahura*, LaCombe**
RD: Manson, Gudbranson, Andersson*
G: Gibson, Dostal*
As you can see, there's plenty of depth at forward and left defense, and we have one of the five best goalies in the League. The glaring deficiency is at RD.
