Since he was traded at the 2020 Trade Deadline, we have been waiting for the return of Derek Grant. However, he may no longer make sense for the Anaheim Ducks.
Before he landed in Anaheim, Derek Grant floated around the NHL. Hoping to find a place where he fit in and could put down roots, he continued to bounce from team to team, playing for four teams in four seasons. However, he finally seemed to have a breakthrough when Bob Murray gave him a chance and signed him to the Anaheim Ducks via free agency in 2017.
