The Anaheim Ducks have announced their opening night 23-man roster. We now have a clear understanding of the Ducks financial situation for this season.
Before we dive into the Ducks financial breakdown, there are a few things that must be understood.
First is an understanding of the Ducks internal cap.
The Ducks are not Billy Beane’s Oakland A’s playing moneyball because they have no money. But they are also certainly not the New York Yankees spending money like it’s their job.
Hockey is different than baseball as hockey has a salary cap, but you should think of the Ducks as a team in-between the spending style’s of the A’s and Yankees.
