Ducks are going to be very good in a few years. Not to start a war, but I think they are building better than their cross-town rivals, even if they have less high picks and less overall picks. They have all the main facets of their rebuild. They have good young forwards with players like Zegras, Terry, Comtois, McTavish, Lundestrom, Perreault, Pastujov, Gaucher, Tracey. They have good young defensemen like Drysdale, Mintyukov, Zellweger, Luneau, Warren, and Thrun. And maybe most importantly is they have the goalie, Dostal. NJ and Ottawa are two teams that have done a good job with their rebuild, yet have lacked that last part. They probably have acquired less value in their assets than their rivals, but I think they’ve done and will likely continue to do a much better job in developing these players. Ducks will be good in about two years. 2022-23 is too early, but I think playoffs will happen in 2023-24, and a lot of years after that.

Excited about this pick.

As you should. It'll take 3-4 years but he's the type of player that helps you win Stanley Cups. I'm very jealous of Anaheim's draft.

Love the player and pick. Looking forward to buying my first nhl game in 8 years and doing a Gm mode with Anaheim and also one with my shitty hawks.

Mintyukov, Luneau, Gaucher, Zellweger have all been sent down, but Warren was kept. He just now played 22 minutes against the Sharks

He has issues with play with the puck, and we're lacking physicality but still impressive, imo

He absolutely crushed Eklund. He played a great game everyone around me in the crowd couldn't stop talking about his game last night.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Love the pick more and more. This guy brings size and grit to the blue line.

Him handling the puck will improve over time

Not impressive at all at the wjc
