As the 2018-19 season winds down, the Anaheim Ducks, became forced to employ quite a few prospects with the big club. As injuries and losses mounted, this became more and more necessary. Recently, they fired Randy Carlyle as Bob Murray took over coaching duties. This was presumably to stream in more talent from the AHL.
Anaheim expects to end up with a top-5 draft pick this summer, maybe even a top-3 or better. Their prospect pool still needs help. 2019 and 2020 could be good years to replenish that pool.
