Ducks 1st Team ever to have prospects win DotY in all CHL leagues

[Kalv]

Quite impressive. Nicely done Ducks staff. Should be one hell of a blue line in a few years.

Who do Ducks fans see as having the highest potential? Point producer? Shut down?

Drysdale
Minty
Zellweger
Luneau
Hinds

Purely offense wise I think Zell shows the most promise. Drysdale has some limits offensively. Minty and Luneau seems fairly equal to me now, I think they clearly have 2nd pair 2-way potential with 1st pair not out of the question.

Defensively Hinds is so good. Have to wait, hopefully Warren improves in similar direction.

Points: Zellweger. What he does is insane.
Shutdown: Hinds. Just plays a simple effective game.
Highest potential: Minty or Luneau.

I hope they terrorize Chicago for the next decade

They'll be getting destroyed by bedard for the next decade,

But the hawks team outside of him isnt comparable to the ducks yet

Just waiting for D1rtyF1ghter to come in and say they're all trash because they're 18-19 and doing this against younger players.

I thought Montreal has the best defensive prospects? What happened?

 

[Gstank]

Im interested to see how this plays out as 2 of those players are pure offensive forces and will not both be able to get PP1 time when they make the Ducks.

Well, depends who makes the team and during which year, there's a possibility we could have 2 potentially strong PP groups that somewhat blurs the line between PP1 and PP2.

Forwards: Zegras, Fantilli (assumed picked at draft), Terry, McTavish...Henrique (if next year), maybe Vatrano, + prospects that might make the team eventually e.g. Pastujov, Gaucher, Perreault, Tracey.

Defense w/ offensive bent: Zellweger, Mintyukov, Fowler, Drysdale, Luneau, others?

Who needs Bedard

Hutson got robbed and should have won defender of the year in all 3 leagues.

 

[Rebels57]

Man, Bedard would have been so much better off going here...and the rest of the Hockey community would have been a lot happier too.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Pretty impressive drafting! Good thing for the rest of the league that all these players will be traded before they hit their primes.

 

[forever1922]

I just realised Verbeek's plan: Anaheim is about to dress 9 defensemen by 2025.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

I imagine some teams who can't draft defensemen will be hanging around the Ducks' table like this -

They stole Ryan Rezmierski from Detroit after Pat Verbeek left Detroit for Anaheim.

Rezmierski is the guy that played a big part in finding some defensive gems in Nashville. Was then hired by Detroit in 2020 and helped them get some solid picks in the 2020 and 2021 drafts, then 2022 went to Anaheim with Verbeek. Don't be surprised to see him find a few more gems for Anaheim.

That makes perfect sense because the Preds (and also to an extent the Canes) are - or were - strong at that aspect of scouting too. Good info.

 

[SenzZen]

Definitely deserve flowers for this. Very impressive.

Drysdale

Luneau

Mintyukov and drysdale have highest potential…. With Mintyukov being slightly above drysdales.

Points it’s Mintyukov
Shutdown prob hinds

I think luneau will be the best 2way guy, trusted in all situations, fill in where we need him
Zellweger hoping for a girard like plauer

 

[lwvs84]

In a few years, down 1 goal and goalie pulled, Ducks might be able to run:
Zegras- McTavish- Terry- Fantilli
Mintyukov- Zellweger

Someone is scoring a goal... might be the other team is they can get the puck though

That sounds like a good addition. The Ducks were always (fo last 10 years) great at finding D gems already

EP has him listed as Anaheim's Pro Scout. Also, the 2022-23 Ducks media guide has Rezmierski as a pro scout.

The amateur scouts for Anaheim have remained the same, who have always been praised for their work in finding defensemen for the Ducks in the draft. Let's not try to steal their thunder.
