Eric Stephens of The Athletic: (before Montour trade) The Anaheim Ducks need offense, skill, more speed and creativity, a finisher, a forward who can play on the wing or at center.
They’ll eventually need a star to replace Ryan Getzlaf.
A tank job could land them a better lottery shot at Jack Hughes or Kaapo Kakko.
Winger Nick Ritchie might become a trade asset.
The signing of Jakob Silfverberg may make Adam Henrique available. Henrique’s five-year, $5.825 million cap hit deal hasn’t even kicked in yet.
