This season, the Ducks were better and snuck into the playoffs as a wild card team. Although losing in the first round, they were way better. The Henrique, Rakell, Schwartz line all had 55+ points together with Silverburg having close to 30 goals. Sam Steel took a huge step up as he had 40 points with almost 15 goals. Max Jones was better and finished with 10 goals and a little less than 30 points. They’re bottom 6 forwards were way better this year than last year. They’re defense is only getting better with Cam Fowler and Jamie Drysdale who was an offensive force this season. Lindholm was about the same and Manson also took a step up. Gibson finished 4th in the vezina trophy award race. He made them get their playoff berth this year because of how good he was. Rickard Rakell, Hampus Lindholm, and Josh Manson are the main free agents. And the 4th overall pick Chase De Leo did really well in the minors.

I'm concerned as to why you didn't include top prospect Trevor Zegras in here

He's coming in in Pt. 3
