Anaheim Ducks resist trade deadline panic as Artemi Panarin lands with the Los Angeles Kings. Can Pat Verbeek’s homegrown approach outlast big-name moves in the Pacific Division’s playoff race?
Kyle Kjer spotlights the Ducks’ draft capital, prospect pipeline, and the GM’s commitment to long-term growth over splashy acquisitions. The discussion explores realistic trade targets like Justin Faulk, the impact of rival teams boosting their rosters, and why Anaheim fans should “enjoy the ride” this season. With playoff spots on the line, key players including Leo Carlsson, Troy Terry, and Mason McTavish anchor the team, while upcoming UFA and RFA negotiations loom large. Examining the remaining schedule and standings, Kyle Kjer asks: Is a patient build the smart play as the Ducks chase postseason glory?
