It Anaheim Ducks Hit this season is to be aggressive in commercial markets and free agents. The ducks remained true to their word, leaping to negotiate for the ex-gowner of 50 goals, Chris Kreider.
While Kreider's acquisition was a good start, some obstacles remain on the path of Anaheim ducks that completed their list.
Therefore, we take a look at the five members of the Anaheim Ducks team who hurt the team's efforts to return their list.
Ducks Anaheim recently called Joel Quenneville As the new main coach. Although it may seem amazing to include Quenneville in this list, especially since he has not even coached a game, the past problems of Quenneville could shade the club.
For example, free agents may think twice when signing in Anaheim based on the idea of playing quenneville.
Quenneville has not been responsible for any crime, of course. However, some players may prefer to move away from the possible controversies they advance.
John Gibson It has been rumored to be on the commercial block for quite some time. The problem here is that Gibson is the only goalkeeper currently under contract for ducks. Lukas Dostal, the revelation of last season, is an RFA. In the meantime, Ville Huso is UFA.
This situation means that ducks will have to discover what to do on Dostal first, before deciding Gibson. If the ducks believe that maintaining Gibson is not of their interest, ducks will have to move or play for another season with Gibson on the commercial bloc.
But whenever Gibson is on the team, the Dostal way to become a NHL headline of Good Fide will be blocked.
Ducks gm Pat Verbeek He has done a good job to lead the reconstruction of the team. He has acquired some solid pieces through trade such as Frank Vatrano, while filling the club's perspectives pipe with solid pieces.
But as Verbeek launches in the free agency this summer, the temptation is there to throw a pile of money into a player like Mitch Marner.
Although this is not necessarily a bad thing, there is always a risk that Verbeek blows the heading space of $ 30 million from Anaheim Ducks to players who will not deliver the desired returns. That is why Verbeek must stepping carefully when evaluating the free and commercial agents markets this summer.
Ducks took Jacob Tuba The substantial lid came last season, hoping to add a veteran leader who could provide a solid presence on the club's blue line.
Trouba has been a good soldier and played the best with Anaheim. However, their $ 8 million blow could face the way to attract other potential free agents or add contracts through trade. Yes, ducks have more than $ 30 million in the lid space this summer.
But this amount can evaporate, while also considered that ducks have no proponents signed beyond this season.
Given that the Trouba contract will come out of the books after this season, other free agents will see how the ducks manage Trouba. If the ducks seem mild in any way, the optics can turn off the free agents to move to Anaheim.
Trevor ZegrasLike John Gibson, he has been the subject of commercial conversation in progress. All commercial discussion over Zegras has become a distraction for the team and the player.
Therefore, ducks will have to solve this problem once for all.
If the ducks are re-signed Zegras, he would indicate that he is happy and ready to stay in Anaheim. But if the ducks are commercialized, the club will have to maximize the return.
However, other player decisions may have to wait until the Zegras saga is resolved, in one way or another.
