The Anaheim Ducks made a bold statement when they placed Adam Henrique on waivers in mid-February, just two seasons into his big $29,125,000 contract ($5,825,000 AAV). The 2020-21 season did start off slowly for the 31-year-old veteran center, but just a season prior, he proudly led his team in points and goals. This brought about a lot of speculation concerning Henrique’s future with the Ducks.
Bob Murray went into the season expecting his team to compete, and when they did everything but, he had to make an example of somebody.
