The Anaheim Ducks are a team in a hellish limbo right now. They’re winless in their last 12 games, but are somehow just two points out of a playoff spot. The issue is that the Ducks team is incredibly flawed and head coach Randy Carlyle’s system is tanking their chances to have success. John Gibson continues to do his best, but it’s impossible for a goaltender to carry that heavy of a load for an entire season.
The Ducks appear to be preparing for a fire sale (once they finish off all their minor lateral moves, perhaps) in an attempt to stockpile assets for an impending rebuild of their aging core.
