With the departure of notable depth players like David Perron, Jamie McGinn, Brandon Pirri, and more, there is a lot of room on the Ducks roster for young Ducks to make the jump to the NHL. Budget signings of Mayson Raymond, Jared Boll, and Antoine Vermette have left Anaheim’s bottom 6 forwards looking much weaker than the depth they boasted at the end of last year.
Nick Ritchie and Joseph Cramarossa look to be the most likely candidates to stay with Anaheim this year. Ritchie seems to have really taken his offseason training seriously this year as he came into camp much leaner and meaner.
