Ryan Kesler came to the Anaheim Ducks in the offseason with a pretty steep price tag attached, but proved to be worth every penny as an invaluable addition to a remarkable campaign.
It was the move that was rumored to happen in the months leading up to the trade deadline, then again at the draft tables, and then again in the days leading up to the opening of free agency. Finally, on June 27th, 2014, it happened. Ryan Kesler agreed to waive his no-trade clause and was headed to Anaheim in exchange for Nick Bonino, Luca Sbisa, and first and third round draft picks.
