The Ducks were active last year before the deadline in rebuild mode; the question is when forward movement begins.
February 2, 2023 at 11:04 a.m.The Ducks and their newly minted GM Pat Verbeek whipped the door open for business a year ago and shoppers hunting for high-end product dutifully got in line.Defensemen Hampus Lindholm and Josh Manson and forward Rikard Rakell were all moved out, dispatched to the Bruins, Avalanche and Penguins, respectively.
The Ducks are lacking the kind of player who provides quiet, almost invisible minutes on the back end. They have talent on the blue line, but it is so high risk, they just give up too many high-danger chances. There’s not enough commitment to play that defense-first style But the immediate good news for the Ducks is that rookie Mason McTavish is in the first year of his entry-level contract. Another key is that they only have one more year on the Adam Henrique and Jakob Silfverberg contracts. That would be just over a combined $11 million disappearing at the end of the 2023-24 season.The biggest name on the trade board is Klingberg, whose career with the Ducks spans months, not years. Klingberg’s 42-game stint with the Ducks has been wildly up and down.
