This year’s trade deadline was chalked full of exciting, yet surprising moves. Matt Duchene and Ryan Dzingel were traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Wayne Simmonds has a new home with the Nashville Predators. The San Jose Sharks acquired Gustav Nyquist from the Detroit Red Wings. However, in typical Bob Murray fashion, at least in recent seasons, the Anaheim Ducks were relatively quiet at the trade deadline.
Although, he did make a few moves that can only mean one thing; Bob Murray has embraced the idea of a retool.
