Possible Free Agents LW- C- RW- Kovalchuk Tavares Lupul- X Nash Thornton Read JVR- X Flippula Brown* Neal Bozak Stafford Vanek Colborne Hayes Chimera* Grant* Kunitz- X Cullen Maroon Wagner LD- RD- Johnson- X Carlson Hamhuis Schenn- X De Haan Franson *- Our UFA’s X- Likely Signs We will most likely miss out on the big names like always but will make depth additions to boost another run. Would love to see Kovalchuk or Taveres or Carlson in a Ducks jersey but it’s highly unlikely. Hopefully we add one of the second teir guys ( ie Thornton, Nash, JVR, or Neal) to make a second line that can put up points. If not look for us to explore a trade and possibly give up someone like a Silfverberg and Larsson to get some scoring. Perry remains an option to be moved and some talks about even Montour but it would be crazy of Murray to move a young highly skilled right handed d man for anything less than a susperstar based on where we are at. Ritchie is fighting for his spot and could also be moved if he doesn’t start living up to the potential of 10th overall pick and make better decisions with the puck. I use to be a big fan but watching him is frustrating cause he has the talent. Montour and Kase get bridge, cap friendly deals as rfa’s giving us room to add a good player. Welinski will get a prove it deal and will make the opening night line up unless we add a veteran presence on the back end. (Which I believe we will) A mighty ducks line of Kunitz-Cullen-Lupul would be an awesome reunion and could play as a solid fourth line Trade Targets- LW- C- RW- Panarin* O’Reilly Kessel Skinner* Coyle* Ryan Pacioretty Reinhart Lucic* Burakovsky LD- RD- Hanifin Karlsson* Brodin* Faulk Edler Hamilton* Trouba *Must-Trade-For Would instantly buy a Panarin jersey. Think it could be the move to put us over the top. Karlsson would be amazing but unlikely. Hamilton is more realistic but what’s the price for a 6’6 offensive, right handed defenseman? Most likely out of our budget. Brodin and Coyle both would be great style fits and love how they play. Skinner or Lucic both could instantly add depth and secondary scoring which we need bad.
