On October 1st, two days before the dawn of a new season, Anaheim Ducks’ General Manager Bob Murray made a curious move in acquiring a young Swedish right-winger by the name of Pontus Aberg off of waivers from the Edmonton Oilers.
While the team had three right wingers out at the time in Patrick Eaves, Ondrej Kase, and Corey Perry, it was pretty much a given that prospects Troy Terry and Kiefer Sherwood would join the likes of Jakob Silfverberg and Rickard Rakell to fill out the roster on that side.
