The Ducks are a team in a rebuild on the cusp of flipping the switch. While they re-signed franchise player Ryan Getzlaf to a one-year $3 million contract, he will no longer be counted on to carry the team on his back. The roster is already loaded with young players taking on key roles in Maxime Comtois, Troy Terry, Sam Steel, and Isac Lundestrom to name a few.
This year look for two franchise pillars to make a major impact in Jamie Drysdale and Trevor Zegras. Both played in 24 NHL games and are poised to have breakout seasons.
