Team: 2022-23 Anaheim Ducks

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 15, 2022

Published: Jun. 29, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I am not a fan of the ducks this is a series of my projected rosters that I am gonna use to update my NHL 22 rosters and make a new season mode. I have a busy off-season for Pat Verbeek as he has shown he isn't afraid to make moves. I think the Ducks will concentrate on staying the course and improving internally along with adding assets. My apologies as an Oilers fan that Dallas Eakin returns. I don't think Gibson gets traded. I tried too and i think both New Jersey and Washington either won't give up what the ducks want or they look to improve another way. Toronto can't price him in and I don't think that an intra division trade happens. I think it should be Toronto or NJD tho but think it would be the caps. Without further ado here you go my apologies for the long read.

Trades:
-Zucker and a second for a 5th is a trade I saw on this site, Actually it was a third but consensus was it could be a little more.
-Philly retains two mill to save 5, ducks retain more and flip at deadline.
- Reunite Guhle brothers, give ANH a RD
-Might have to add a little to Vegas trade but Roy and Comtois played at wjc together
- ANH gets tougher and a 1st can trade and retain Lucic at deadline. CGY gets cap space

Big UFA aquistion was Zadorov. Tougher on thhe backend gives a veteran dman to help the young guys adjust. Big focus of this team is getting a bit better but also allowing that internal growth. Making sure those young guys are protected.

AHL:
Dostal leads the crease and will step-up to the big club soon. Helleson gets a year in the minors to develop and play first pairing minutes. Same goes for McTavish, Groulx, Tracey, better they get top 6 minutes in the AHL and can step in after TDL or next season when some of those vets have departed.

Roster:
Goalies: I think Stolarz may get traded and might have that on another roster as I go but for now he backs up Gibson who I expect to bounce back to his pre-all star break self.

Dmen: Shattenkirk gets moved at the TDL but until then he can help this young blueline. Fowler and Zadorov are ginna help Drysdale and Helleson adjust. Vannikainen, Larsson, Mahura will alternate in and can be subbed with someone from the minors but hopefully one or more take the next step.

Forwards: Milano, Terry, Zegras you hope can alll imporve on their performances from last year. Comtois you look at for a bounceback same with Zucker. Hopefully Van Riemsdyk and Roy can help everyone along. 4th line will be a rotation based on performance and who they're playing.

Overall I think their might be a couple to many trades but I feel that this roster is better and can comepete for a WC most of the way. I think that there will be some internal growth and that their is a nice core to build around that I didn't want to tinker with. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below thanks!
