Who are the 2017-18 Anaheim Ducks? That’s a tough question to answer for any team, especially one that’s experienced significant injuries. Anaheim, however, is in a special class of its own in that regard. As of the last Man-Games Lost update, the Ducks not only have the highest number of man-games lost by a 47-game margin, but it’s also cost them an estimated 17.2 points in the standings due to the caliber of players who have missed time.
The difficulty in grading this team on anything but a severe curve thus becomes fairly obvious.
