I have made peace with this now. I am a strong believer in fate. We were not meant to have Crosby and we were not meant to have Bedard. We still won a cup without Crosby. We can still win one without Bedard.

Remember when the Ducks drafted Mintyukov and we were all like “what? the Ducks drafting a Russian?”
Now I’m struggling to remember when they had a Russian this good. Lots of swings and misses in there - Chistov, Smirnov. We probably have to go all the way back to Tverdovsky.

The Ducks have signed 20 year old 6’1” 185lb RW Bryce Kindopp to a 3 year ELC. Kindopp was overlooked for 3 straight drafts & attended the Avs dev camp this last summer. He has 71 points in 60 games in the WHL.

So if the Sharks lose the next game, the Ducks will get their first-round pick. Anaheim has selected 5 players since 2000 with a San Jose pick. Two of those were Kyle Palmieri at 26th in 2009 and Max Comtois at 50th in 2017.

If this is the McIlvane style - I like it. Aggressive forecheck - two men high, it does mean risk of turnover in the D zone and more trust in the talented puck moving defenders but its much better than last years Gulls gameplan.

Derek nails it here. The deal means a call up, Helleson is the Gulls only righty but Zellweger is the clear best defender, while Hagg could be the option for spot duty. Hope the Ducks make a deal that swings some AHL depth too!

Cranked out a quick piece on the Ilya Lyubushkin deal from the Ducks’ perspective. My thoughts on the deal along with who could potentially be on their way up I-5 from San Diego.

I apologise for hyping expectations for this Gulls team. Clearly I was way too optimistic with how the incoming group of prospects would do. It can never be understated how important the right selection of veterans (IE the Priskies, Sikuras and Slavins) are.

So I guess the Gulls aren't getting Drysdale back. Going to numb the pain by watching Morand draw penalties and pin my hopes on Brouillard.

Well the Ducks are now last in the west in pts percentage, which is more important to look at than pts right now with the disparity in games played in the west.

Helleson is in his Junior year at BC so he could sign and we could see him on the Gulls at the end of this season. A replacement right shot defender that reads as a good shut down defender.
TRADE: We have acquired Drew Helleson and a 2023 second-round pick from Colorado in exchange for Josh Manson.

I know it’s a tad out of left field. But I wonder if the Ducks look at Patrick Roy. Would already be keeping a close eye on what he has been doing this last season with Gaucher. Employs a hard to play against style.

I’ve been watching this Canucks run and wondering the same of the Ducks
If they were in this same position it would be Suchanek
And you know what
I think he would surprise a lot of people
Silovs is an intermittent reminder of why organizational depth and development matter so much.
Those picks and signings where people go "Who??" are actually key decisions.
Vancouver brought him up the chain from the ECHL to two solid years with Abbotsford to all of this.

As per my offseason changes article - despite a huge influx of prospects, the Gulls will still need to sign some players to fill gaps in the forwards and on the right side on D (Brouillard and Priskie please). I also fully expect Zellweger to be with the Ducks.

So with the cavalry the Gulls can ice a line-up something like this.
Perreault - Zegras - De Leo
Limoges - Groulx - Kindopp
Agozzino - Carrick - Poturalski
Lettieri - Badini - Printz/Lorito/Golod
Lowe - Drysdale
Mahura - T Carrick/Brouillard
Benoit - Andersson

I said it in one of my recent post game recaps but I can see Perreault being with the Ducks next year. Makes no sense to send him back to Junior and I think the Ducks can finally see the benefits of going full youth movement now.

Good read here on Nesterenko. Patrick put a lot of effort into this.
By far the most interesting piece acquired by the Ducks at the trade deadline was prospect, Nikita Nesterenko. I took a dive into what he could potentially bring to the Anaheim Ducks organization as soon as this week
